People's life is nothing more than a few nodes crossing, perhaps at that time just confused and dazed, ignorant of their appearance, until a long time later, will feel that they have never left, accompanied us to this day.
The moment I went from university to society, it was such a node.
Because both parents are teachers, they have been full of respect and yearning for teachers since childhood, so they look forward to becoming a teacher when they grow up. The day finally came, and when I graduated from college, I stayed in a middle school in my hometown to teach.
Although this period of time was not long, it was the first time in my life that I went into society. This period of time is like a distant world, every time I remember, but it is still so clear, vivid in my eyes, the most memorable thing for me is Teacher Sun, also a teacher and a friend, who became the leader of my first voyage in my life.
To this day, I still keep a notebook given by Teacher Sun, and a very simple message on the title page is a very simple message, "Congratulations to Xiaoyou for further study and success in learning!" ”
I remembered that the first time I met Mr. Sun was in the school's teaching office, when a vice principal introduced me.
Teacher Sun is not tall, slightly fat figure, 50 years old outside the feeling, hair mixed with a little silver hair, the corners of the mouth are full of smiles, a glance, bringing a kind of motherly warmth.
Teacher Sun is the leader of the school's Chinese teaching and research team, virtue and art, not only students all over the country, peach and plum all over the world, but also brought out a lot of famous teachers and apprentices. At the node of my life, it is also a great blessing to have such a mentor to guide the way.
That year, I had just returned from the rural volunteer teaching, and I had become one of the few "excellent volunteer teachers" in the city, so I was quite appreciated by Teacher Sun and always created various opportunities for me to emerge.
At that time, a great opportunity was the city's teaching competition for young and middle-aged teachers. This competition is not only a big competition between schools, but also an opportunity for every young teacher to dream of and achieve his own success.
It is conceivable that the contestants are all strong and strong, young talents from various schools, and the recommended candidates who can enter this competition have also become a demonstration of strength. Under the pressure of such a competition, Teacher Sun vigorously overcame the public opinion and recommended me to participate in this language group competition to the school.
Teacher Sun's strong recommendation even I felt incredible, after all, I only had one year of practical level and experience in "volunteer teaching", and I was not qualified to participate in such a high-level competition in any case, not to mention that the outstanding young teachers in the school were all looking forward to it.
Sure enough, the principal looked at my slightly immature face and hesitated for half a moment before saying, "Well, organize all the teachers in the teaching and research group, as well as a few of our principals, to listen to the lessons of a few players and then make a decision." ”
In this way, I participated in the school-wide observation competition as a preparatory player. In the preparation of this preliminary round, Teacher Sun's calmness and self-confidence gave me great courage and encouragement.
She just silently followed me, as if she didn't want to disturb my mind and thoughts too much, only when I encountered confusion or timidity, she would stand by my side in time and lend a helping hand to help me.
In this way, in Teacher Sun's full of strength and confidence, I unexpectedly won the praise of all the teachers, and even the principal, who has always been unsmiling, also smiled and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Good game!" ”
I had not yet recovered from the joy of the preliminaries, and Teacher Sun woke me up with a word, "What is this?" The hard battle is still to come! ”
The preparation in the next few days was very hard, and Teacher Sun studied the lesson plan with me almost every day, often getting it late and going home. On that day, I mentioned Wei Shusheng, an expert in language education in the country, and Teacher Sun's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, and immediately rushed to the principal's office.
It turned out that Wei Shusheng was holding an open observation class in Wuxi, which was a good opportunity to observe and learn, and perhaps we could get inspiration and breakthroughs from it. In this way, the next day, Teacher Sun rushed to Wuxi with a group of young teachers.
Teacher Wei Shusheng's teaching philosophy opened a door to spiritual freedom for me, the original Language can also be taught in this way, in fact, what teachers have to do is not to "cram" instill, but to create conditions to care for the growth of children.
At that citywide young teacher competition, I won the second prize in the language group teaching competition, and I was the only young teacher who had just entered the teaching arena.
To this day, I still clearly remember that the moment I stepped onto the podium, I suddenly remembered Teacher Sun, my heart was full of warmth, and my eyes were also a little moist. I understood Teacher Sun's self-confidence and composure, that strength and perseverance, and also understood why she would be full of peach and plum all over the world, cultivating so many teachers and apprentices, and it turned out that she was the same, and has been silently creating conditions and opportunities for young teachers to care for their growth!
