Being gifted the opportunity to see a teacher’s perspective over the summer, my idea of this mutual adaptation became further cemented. Due to the wide range of ages in the class, I was able to experience a wide range of individuals to which I had to adapt to in teaching.
Some had an already-established basis of English, while others did not. Some were older, and others were younger. Some kids were more eager and expressive, and others were mellow and shy.

In some lessons, the classes would receive a new student, and both my sister and I needed to work together to bridge the gap between newfound unfamiliarity and comfortable participation.

The definitions surrounding teaching often leave out the most important and monumental points of a teacher’s job. While anyone can splay out information, only a good teacher can allow that information to settle into a student who is willing to learn.
And such an intellectual imprint can often only be accomplished from a genuine sense of care for the individuals that are being impacted by one’s instruction.
I am beyond grateful for the possibility of meeting such people. May God bless them in their future ventures into the world!
Я надзвичайно вдячний за можливість зустрічі з такими людьми. Нехай Бог благословить їх у їхніх майбутніх починаннях!
