Letters from two of my future students.

Hii Mrs.Bajwa,

How are you doing?

My name is Jason. I was in your grade 10 class in 2019. I am feeling immense pleasure writing you a note. You were amongst the teachers who really cared about their students and were very approachable and humble. Apart from learning the subject content, I learnt the values and ways of life to become a better person in my life. The qualities of being kind, helping each other, believing in yourself, coping with hard times helped me to lead a peaceful life. When I reflect back, I still remember the math fun activities in our class. You made us all feel so happy. At present, I am not only excelling in my life as a software engineer but also living my life with full enthusiasm and happiness. I still remember your motivation to strengthen our strengths and weakness and realize hidden potential. Thanks for always being there for my support and inspiration.

Kind regards, 

Jason

Hii Mrs.Bajwa,

My name is Kiran. I am writing to you to express my feeling which I was not able to when I  was your student. You was my math teacher in grade 11 in 2019. I remember your math lessons made sense to only those who were already good in math. I wish you had taken care of those who were not excelling in math then it would have served a great help to them emotionally and academically. I still remember the time when I was almost in a state of depression and helplessness. Even though I was trying my best but could not make up with the rest of the class. I really felt like crap at that time. Although I really appreciate you for being very punctual, responsible and organized in class, I wish you had paid more attention, used alternative pedagogies to explain the math concept and created an unbiased environment in the class so that everybody had the opportunity to perform well in math.

Kind regards,
Kiran

As a teacher, my teaching pedagogies, relationship with the students have a huge impact on their life. It affects them both academically and emotionally. My concern is that it might be difficult to build up a relationship with the students who are bit introvert. I might not know what they are going through. Therefore, such situations can be challenging. I sometimes feel worried about dealing with misbehaviors in the classroom. But, I am hopeful that I will use the best possible pedagogies suitable for my students for their excellence.
