“Life is too short, and the demands are great, so focus on your path and give it your all; yes, it is tiring and difficult, and it may appear that you are losing your grip, but have faith that one day you will be at the top of the hill.”

My areas of expertise include IT and computer science education. Because the majority of my students are non-IT freshmen or sophomores at the start, I am aware that they will not share my enthusiasm for this subject. Furthermore, this may be the only instance in which students struggle with computer science because they lack the necessary logical skills.

They had no idea that computer science could be such a difficult subject to master. With this in mind, my primary learning objectives for them are to foster an appreciation for the remarkable field of computer science and information technology, as well as to impart critical knowledge and essential skills that will apply to the student’s future careers.

These seven points assist me in maintaining my sense of balance and professional direction.

• Growth is a process that takes time and patience. We are the architects of our development.
• Teachers must emphasize students’ strengths and provide positive feedback to help them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
• Critical thinking assists students in internalizing knowledge.
• Structure and shared decision-making are essential components of the learning process.
• Success breeds more success.
• Teachers must strive to meet the needs of their students and be aware of the social, emotional, and physical factors that influence the learning process.
• In a multicultural nation, pupils and educators must value diversity while seeking unity. • All teachers must strive for ongoing renewal and development.

Teaching is not a static process. Each class, like each student, is unique. Even though I have taught programming concepts in multiple languages such as Python, Visual Basic, and Java numerous times, I have written new lesson plans each time. I believe in reinventing the wheel each time because every new mind can generate new ideas that have not been done previously.

I certainly reuse materials from previous lessons (questions, Code examples), but class dynamics necessitate different approaches to meet the needs of students. I also create many short program codes personalized for each class to challenge every student’s brain. My students can expect the same thing from me, just as I anticipate the same from them. Class starts and ends on time.
