Myself as a teacher

The most important thing I've learned about myself as a teacher in the past term/year is that I am an individual needing to collaborate with other individuals in order to make a difference. No one person can do it alone. Finding the right resources makes a world of difference in getting the job done and in overall job satisfaction. I have found that the most important aspect of a job to me is feeling that I am making a positive difference. Someone once told me, “Don’t try to do someone elses job unless you are getting paid for it. Go to them for the answers and let them handle what they are the experts at doing. This way you divide and conquer and all go home at peace at the end of the day” I have also come to realize that it is through collaborating with peers that you find out what is happening in the field and how not to spend extra time reinventing the wheel. I am assured and satisfied in knowing that what I am doing counts. Everyone wants to be needed. The time, the effort, the work is part of what Ido because I want to give my best.
