The Miracle Worker
When Ms. Sullivan came and taught Helen learn sign language I can see in her how
much she wanted Helen to learn and know what kind of the world she’s into. Ms.
Sullivan is one of a kind teacher, she has a lot of patience handling a very hard headed
child. I love how Ms. Sullivan is eager to teach Helen learn things for her to express
what she wants and needs. Ms. Sullivan doesn’t teach Helen just because Helens
parents hired her but it is also because she feel pity to the child and understand her
situation, she also doesn’t teach Helen as a teacher but as a person who experience
that kind of situation that cannot see because as I know and watch Ms. Sullivan was
also a student before. No matter how hard is Helen to teach because she was always
throwing things and giving tantrums Ms. Sullivan doesn’t give up teaching Helen until
she learns everything and as soon as she manage to teach Helen and Helen started to
learn the things she teach I can see how much she is so happy that it even made her
cry, and as I watch that scene I can also feel fulfilment that finally Helen already know
how to use sign language. Ms. Sullivan did everything for Helen even though it’s testing
her patience and dignity as a teacher she still doesn’t give up and manage to do her
homework which is to teach Helen use sign language.
As a future teacher, If ever I can encounter a child who has an impairment then for sure
Ms. Sullivan would be my greatest and biggest model. Even though it would mean to
drain my patience to teach a stubborn child and had an impairment I will still do
anything, everything for that child just for her to learn because I know it is very hard to
them to be in that kind of situation. One thing that I’ve learned in Ms. Sullivan and she
had been proven is that “Patience is the key to success” even though how hard it is that
you have been doing if you have lots of patience then surely you’ll succeed in of what
you are doing.
