Literacy teacher

My Experience of Being a Literacy Teacher


I’ve never known what was the feeling to teach

a children in the community.I thought it would be

difficult for me to teach them because of their young

age. Naughty , insistent, and hyper-active. But this

feelings make me realize the days when my

kindergarten teachers were trying hard to teach me

and guide me because of natural behavior that is innate

to children that once before like me . I said to myself I

need to teach a child because it’s included in my subject

“NSTP” and like what I thought, being a literacy teacher

are hard for us specially to discipline them.


On the very first day of our NSTP, its so difficult to find a children, because almost of

them have their teachers already. But when I came to a one street corner I found a little

house . I saw a woman and asked her if she have a children whose age is 5 years old and

up and I’m gradually felt so happy and excited because at last! I have a child to teach

now . Her name is “Bea”. She look glancing at me and then she change her clothes

immediately, she ask me what is my name , and I introduce myself to her. In the very first

day of being a literacy teacher I’m so proud that I will experience something new , and to

give Bea a kind of literacy education that she will need. Bea was very a playful child,

almost of the time she’s happy ,having to fun with and sometimes she’s obedient

why? There was an instance that she didn’t listen to me, she wouldn’t behave and keep

playing all around together with her friends when I say something about a reward then

she will stop and listen to me. I taught her how to discipline herself. When I taught her,

she listen very well, and she answers the activity that I please her to answer. She likes to

color instead of writing alphabets and numbers . Sometimes we were making fun and we

laugh together just wanted to feel them secured and enjoy their childhood days. I taught

her how to read but it’s too hard for her , and she even can’t read a simple words , that I

wish somehow when she will going to study she must know how to read.


And now I’m really enjoying this second semester, for having a thrill subject like these.

It’s fun to see how those children’s reciting and quarrel with the other kids. And of

course teaching them about literacy education and moral lessons. But as long as Bea and I

are touch along together , I almost felt that I’m her mother , exactly I know what was the

reason , because I’m her 2nd mother , her teacher.


On the last day of being a literacy teacher , I will missed these kind of experience , I will

miss Bea too , the time that she gave me a difficult acts and response. I didn’t gave her

anything a gift , but last Christmas Party I gave her a board and a coloring book, but this

time the only gift that I can give her is love and care .When it’s time to say goodbye I

said to her that she will take care of herself, and be obedient . I’m waving goodbye to her

as her mother takes her way thru their home.


Even the time or schedule was not pleasant to our mood, because it’s noon time and too

hot, it’s not a matter to us, instead we are responsible for them ,and it’s for their sake and

we are the one who will help them for the beginning of their brighter tomorrow.

More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call. Rats and horses can’t vomit. If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force when you sneeze, you might pop an eyeball out. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, 2 rats could have over a million descendants. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.
