Activity 1
1. Read the selection about “The Metaphor of the Mountain Teacher” and explain what is a
professional teacher.

The metaphor of a "Mountain Teacher" represents the idea that challenges and obstacles in life

can be valuable teachers. Just as a mountain appears insurmountable but offers lessons in

perseverance, resilience, and self-discovery, life's difficulties can impart wisdom and personal

growth. Like a student climbing a mountain, facing challenges head-on can lead to profound

learning and development. This metaphor encourages us to embrace adversity as an opportunity

for self-improvement and to view obstacles as stepping stones toward greater understanding and

strength.
