How can I become the person I want to be?

Since my childhood I have always kept a sweet memory
about my father. To me, the image of my father where he
stood in front of a Frenchman, speaking French fluently
many years ago made a deep impression in my mind and
from that time on I have dreamt of becoming a good
teacher of a foreign language like my father.

How can I become the person I want to be? To attain this
aim, I must be consistent and determined. Consistency
and determination are vital factors leading me to my
success. Therefore, I am always determined to my
success and I devote all my time to my study. My
knowledge is not good and sufficient enough, so I have to
read more books on every aspect. No famous authors,
writers or poets become well – versed in their research
without any experiences from their predecessors. “Where
there is a will there is a way”. After many years of hard
study, I have been able to read all kinds of books without
any difficulties.

A good teacher, in my opinion, is just like a good actor on
the stage. To reach this aim, I should acquire a good,
strong and convincing voice and a lively gesture. Watch a
teacher explaining a lesson in front of his students; he
never stands motionless on the teaching platform. He
goes up and down, using his fingers, hands and arms to
express his feelings and emotions. His voice which is now

sonorous and now high-soaring attracts his students’
attention. They keep as silent as graves and give their
whole mind to their teacher’s lecture. But when the
practice time comes, they become restless and animated.
They take an active part in the practice. They ask
questions and answer the ones put by their teacher. If they
do not understand something they promptly ask him; and
he must satisfy their inquisitiveness.

Thus the teacher must be well – experienced and erudite.
In this ways, if I want to become a profound and
experienced teacher, I should read more good books,
learn more experiences from my teachers and friends and
never be tired of collecting as much knowledge as
possible. “Live and learn” and “Little knowledge is a
dangerous thing” are famous sayings which urge me to be
more active, diligent and zealous in my study.

Then being a good teacher I must have an immense love
for my students and forgive them for their mistakes. I must
be patient and aware of every situation of my students to
encourage them and help them with their learning.

With my consistency, patience, modesty and zeal for
knowledge, I hope that upon graduating from university I
will become a good teacher capable of guiding my
students to every success in their lives.
