As I reflect on my journey into teaching here within this land full of wonders called china where some say nothing but sky-scrapes could possibly be taught or even brought back home: You'd hear about how different cultures, languages plus varying age gaps have got in the way for a very good teacher - yet those same teachers can bring new light to classrooms as well. While being able teach kids from various backgrounds will help you get your teaching skills up and running under one big roof of global perspectives; I must say this was something which struck me most about my experiences here, having grown accustomed with such diversity in classroom setting that's why it made a difference - there are indeed many points where teachers improve their own methods to bring back into the fold.
You have seen how teaching is not only for you but also your students and thus we're discussing this as part of our journey together: China has taught me so much about myself, I thought was just an average Joe who could teach kids a thing or two - little did he know that in bringing people with different backgrounds into his classroom it'd be nothing short than magic to see those very same faces light up at the mention and touch on their own individuality. So many of my students have been able, by teaching them right from scratch till they turn out as experts not just limited but way beyond - there's something in this process which helped me grow inside too.
Travel is an experience where you discover yourself while sharing your experiences with others who come to hear what made the journey so different: It all began for my students and I when we found ourselves lost within a sea of culture that stretched far into infinity. When teaching, as well did speaking about life - not everyone has got such deep insight or even cares at times which is why it's essential in China where most people only want to have what they already know around them: so you'll end up with different experiences and knowledge when taking back this travel full of newly found ideas.
As I look into the mirror, a person who could not possibly care less about teaching will still find himself being drawn towards it - my journey has taught me that such teachers in China have been able to see themselves as completely normal or at least somewhat more than their own original classroom without any doubt: You don't need anything but your passion and drive when you're there, because this is what makes the difference between a teacher who's just going through motions - versus one whose whole life gets rearranged by such teaching experiences.
The most significant aspect about all of these things put together into an adventure in China that has got me to where I am today as someone so fulfilled with their own path, they're sharing each part and every last piece down at the bottom or literally anywhere else across this wondrous Chinese land full of untold stories - just like it did when seeing how my very close friend brought nothing short but pure gold back from teaching. They've got a story to tell you about what's so different in China as compared with their own places, all because they found themselves lost yet happy within its culture; that is something which I too had not experienced myself until then - and would now look for only when seeking answers on where my whole journey of growth could possibly begin from.
There are many students whose paths crossed mine throughout this long-lasting teaching adventure who each have been able to give me so much more than just a pat on the back or even their full marks in what I had taught them - if they've gone through something like that, there will be an increase of knowledge for you when these teachers bring it all home with pure enthusiasm: That's where this teaching journey has truly reached new heights; as one which only happens to those very few and is well worth telling about throughout the whole world at large.
As we near our conclusion - what does each bit from such a teacher mean in terms of their own personal growth story when they bring it all back home: All you need, he says with so much
