Dear reader,
Being a gregarious person, one of my best qualities is that I am extremely easy get along with. This quality is especially useful as a teacher because it helps build good relationships with students really quickly.
However, recently my mentor revealed that my talkative and frank nature might be mistaken as standoffish. She reminded to be more calculative in my speech and mannerisms.
I cannot say I disagree. After all, teaching is not a one-man job. Many a time, I have relied on the goodwill of my colleagues for practical advice, pedantic administration and meticulous book-keeping.
However, it is also quite difficult for me. I have many ideas in my head, and sometimes I think within the ticks of a second, coming up with numerous ideas to share in an instant.
Nevertheless, I know I am a work-in-progress.
