Personal Philosophy

Thinking of my own personal philosophy is hard since I always depend on the

philosophies that I’ve read in books and from different philosophers and different
cultures. I always have questions in everything that sometimes, answer about those
things are just too hard to find. Life itself is hard to understand, we live to survive. We
suffer to survive, we study to have better lives, then after we accomplished the things
that we want, after being satisfied, death will come. A simple life cycle as what they
called. But we are in this world for a reason or purpose that we don’t know yet.
Existence of oneself is not accidental, rather, it’s on purpose. Because that person can
be the reason for change into something. Especially when it affects other people in a
good way.

Philosophy about education

Education is one of the most important and needed things in life. We began to
learn ever since we were born even though we haven’t started school yet. And learning
is forever, you’ll learn and learn and will always carry your education with you wherever
you go. As a teacher, I learn as well. Me being an educator in the future will be quite
hard but in order to teach my students the important things that they need to learn, I will
reflect on my learnings in the past and my experiences as I study. Children learn best
when they feel comfortable to their teacher and can open up to them. They can also
understand the topic better if the teacher will relate it to the reality and will be using
examples that are happening to the surroundings where the children are involved. They
can also work best if they are not handling a lot of pressure. Being under pressure can
affect them mentally, emotionally and physically. In order to avoid that, I will let my
students work in group so the work can be divided equally and the stress won’t be not
that much. There are also a lot of creative students that are hidden as they think that it
will be weird if they don’t follow what exactly the teacher is asking, causing their skills to
not develop. There are things that a teacher should consider in order for their students
to learn and have a better learning environment and I believe that it really starts with us
educators. Once the students that were taught well, they can apply it to themselves until
they reach their success.
