              A Passion for Teaching

                 I read an article called A passion for teaching, it was a very interesting article for me because i felt that it related to the Passion Project. It supported what i thought was one of the best and most important concepts of the script, the passion teachers/instructors have for their job. I personally think teachers play a huge roll in our education and our academic decisions and passions. In The Passion Project, Ray says “Students have to feel like they're at home so if they wanna be comfortable they gotta get comfortable with the teacher… We gotta feel like the teacher is real, like he or she really truly wants to help us.”, I feel like this is true because in all my school years I've had them all ,good teachers and bad. And those who truly take the time to help us on the side whenever we need, those who actually seem interested in us, have made the biggest impacts in my life. They have helped me out the most in every sense and i feel like thats exactly what a teachers job is. A passionate teacher can motivate us, they can push us, they can make us think more positively, thus they can direct us to our own personal success. “He is the most passionate teacher i have ever had in my life, he flies around the room and makes every lecture enjoyable to attend. He helps us individually and pushes us to success”, this is shows how important a passionate teacher is to us students. And more than just teach, they need to interact with their students, help them each individually because every student is different therefore learn differently. Its the teachers job to find the right way to interact with every student and give them the support and attention they need.
