Focus
Keeping focus on the students is necessary because they are the reason we have jobs in the first place. I teach because I have a passion for changing lives. Therefore my ultimate drive is the student. When I begin to lose focus or when I try to inspire focus in my students, I evaluate what I want in life, what my purpose is and what I want to do/where I want to be, and it gives me motivation to finish the necessary steps to acheive my goal.
Hi Jessica,
You brought up some great points! I have to do the same thing. Sometimes I find it helpful to think back to my past professors who were incredibly influential in my life, and made me want to teach. Thinking about them makes me remember my motivation and drive to make a difference in the lives of my students!
