Every teacher can meet with numerous highs and lows in their teaching career. As for me， I have also experienced many great moments while teaching. I value these moments. These were the moments when the students seemed so uninterested， so talkative， or nothing seemed to get accomplished that I definitely questioned teaching as a good career， but these were the moments when I was so happy and enthusiastic that I knew I had selected the right profession.
Through my 4 years of teaching and working in education， I’ve realized that my attitude and atmosphere in class directly affected my students. I’ve learned how to find students cheating with my back turned， how to spot plagiarism at a glance. I’ve gained super-extraordinary hearing and could pick up the subtle click-click-click of a student texting during a class. I’ve found out that everyone has a story and things aren’t always as they seem to be. The biggest thing I’ve learned is that every single one of my students wants to be loved. They want attention； they want to feel important and they want someone else to listen to them.
Tyler is one of them. At the beginning of the first term， he had countless behavior management issues. He had been suspended many， many times in previous years.He sat in the back row. Every time I called him to answer my questions he would respond with a flip answer. He knew the answers when he listened carefully but he didn’t want to be called， because he was too sensitive. If he got an answer wrong， he would get very angry.
One day， I asked him to have a talk for a moment. He seemed unhappy to do it but agreed reluctantly. I told him that I believed that he could do better， telling him I would give him a permission that if he felt like he was going to lose control in class he could step right outside the classroom for a moment to collect himself.
After that， Tyler began to change. He listened attentively and he participated actively. He was actually a smart child and I could finally get to see this in him. He even got an A in a test. And do you know the most amazing part of it all？ He never， ever used the privilege I had given him to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just giving him the power to decide for himself made all the difference.
After his graduation， he wrote me a thank-you note about how good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very touching to reread when I get stressed about teaching.
From this experience I’ve found out thatstudents are people who have feelings and who don’t want to feel cornered. They want to learn but they also want to feel that they have some control over themselves. Every student is different so we have to teach them differently. Only in this way can we create an atmosphere for every student to grow healthily. And this is just our purpose of education！
