Troublesome class observation :P
I would like to talk about a dear ten years old student without any kind of discipline or academic problems but with a big ambition of being the center of the class, and it really turned the class environment so bad.
I started to teach this group 3 classes after it began and there had been problems before, it not only for my dear student self esteem but also for the variety of students’ ages since 10 to 15. It’s worth mentioning that my special student got some troubles with the oldest one, all for the difference in behavior each one fortunately had.
I discovered that because my student started to call me every time and to ask me about every single word, she asked me how to develop each activity immediately after I finish to explain it; it drove mad the others, actually me too:(. Moreover it was hard for her, to the point she didn’t want to continue with the course, because the rest of the class began leaving out her in the entire classroom tasks. Furthermore, the oldest student couldn’t live with this attitude, he changed the room and I had to have works with my darling student’s mother and we could understand her behavior. She studies at a personalized classes’ school with only six or seven students where teachers have a total connection with them. Her mother is so close to her, sharing the majority of their time or calling her each time they’re not together. This is what my lovely student wants or needs from me. Although it’s complex I’m trying not only with her but with everyone, and her mother talked with her and she decided to come back the course. In reality her attitude has changed, a little bit but has changed. Now she’s a lovely pupil with me and sometimes she realizes she’s not on the class good manner and she's not the only student. The problem I can notice is that she has turned into a distracted student :P

My English Learning Process
Saying my firsts English learning classes were wrong it would be a selfish posture against my teacher because starting teaching is the most difficult part (the professor was a beginner), and I know pretty well about that due to my current experience as a teacher. Although the classes were boring and full of technical vocabulary with the idea to get better grades in our I.T specialty, we knew it was only for maintaining us really busy and it brought us a frustrated attitude; but now, at the far end, I realize it was with all my teacher's love. Unveiling this is one of the things have made me to value my ELT Program even though the students are sometimes ungrateful as my high-school partners and I were with our teacher Betty, now I can recognize that my professor was doing her best as I am trying to do with my dear students. After my high school graduation I had to wait one semester for starting studying only because the registration process at UIS, the unique University I could go because my mother’s situation, always start very early and I didn’t know this since this information isn’t normally available in towns so my uncle Luis helped me with the procedure. For that reason with all my Z eal I spent these months doing an English course at Unisangil, our private university in San Gil. There I had a wonderful professor who impulsed me to be the best student and of course! To choose Teaching English Program and not Spanish whose was my first option because I was a smart student in this subject at school, and according to my marvelous professor’s thoughts I would be an excellent student in this program. At my university my English learning process continued because the day to choose my future job I chose ELT Program, English because I could see more possibilities and Teaching Program because it’s the thing that I enjoy the most. At this time, I started to Yearn to be the most successful student in consequence of my previous learning experience where we learnt to say “hello”, “How are you?”, “Nice to meet you”, the Numbers… and things like those, that one conceive in the mind are enough at least at the beginning of this program, haha so naîve because starting to learn has been the most hard-working period in this path of my life because my little knowledge in English added to this University begins with a high level and moreover, I had to start to live with my father and his new family in Piedecuesta that took two or more hours of my day wasted on a bus, those things were really demanding, fortunately it was only for two years. Then I could live near my University and everything became better =). Actually I have been great since this change, my life, my study, my learning process. I know it has taken long time but little by little I’ll reach my goal, become a lovely, responsible and devoted Teacher!!
