Playing :)

the last day of berea buddies we all were playing a cool game. the game's purpose was to destroy the other teams toilet paper castle, and for this we had to hit the other team members with balls. if a person got hit once that person fall in its knees, if it got hit again the person had to go into its stomach and if it got hit again, the person had to go to the other team. in the first round it was little buddies and big buddies against little buddies and big buddies. in the second round, it was little buddies against big buddies.

in this game i saw that there were some little buddies that did not wanted to hit the big buddies because they thought that the big buddie might got mad, or because they did not trust them. also i saw that there was a little gap of trust between little and big buddies.

as i was watching this it came to me that as a future teacher, i want my students to trust me and be able to ask me questions like if i was just another student there. i think that i will make games and i will participate in them, not telling them the rules and watching them, but interacting with them, i want them to see me as another friend and not the teacher. well even though i also will have some limits, but the thing is that i want them to see me as another human and not a perfect person that never makes mistakes, because as humans, no matter what our job is, we all make mistakes.
I put this under the nature of learning because i think that in order to make my students trust me is going to take a while, also because i will see how the games that i play with them will work with the students, so that i can correct myself, last but not least, because also i want them to tell me what works for them so that i can help them.

exercise!!!!

one of my goals was to go and do exercise, i wanted to do this because i want to be more fit and not get tired so easily. my mom always told me that the morning exercise is the best one, so i went every day in the morning to do exercise, i found out that not only it helps me to be fit, but also i was more focused on classes and i participated more because i felt like my brain was more awake.

i decided to put this under personal development instead of personal goals, because even though it was a goal for me to accomplish, for me it was more like having the responsibility to take care of my own development and be able to do it.

as a future teacher, i want my students to also take responsibility of their own learning and development, eve thought i will be there to help them with their learning, i also want them to be responsible by turning in their homework the day is due, do the assignments that are asked, and most important ask questions when they do not understand so that i know where to help them and do the best so that they understand what is being asked or explained.
