The Identity Crisis of a Teenager
THE IDENTITY CRISES
( By: SUSAN TAN APAREJO , Ph.D. ) )
"Dear Ma'am,
Ma'am even you don't give me many gifts, your hug is the very expensive gift I've ever received"
Teachers are most often carried by the emotion of treating their students as their own children. The varied attitudes and behaviors each child brings as they entered the classrooms never hinder the teachers to welcome them in their hearts. They more they manifested uniqueness from others and the more they show their good attitude to their mentors, the higher is their chance of teacher's attention and care.Their presence for the whole school year develops an everlasting parental love for teacher's extended family.
" Dear Susan,
From your poem" Hero in the Classroom" as I quote " teaching children of not his blood line" triggered me into jealousy much of my time were being corrupted by my mother, a teacher. By excessive focus on her pupils neglecting my childish moments that needed much attention from a motherly care...a reality, a history that clashed our ( i and Mother ) intimacy

Undeniably, teachers own children are deprives of no other attention but time. As to love, teachers are considered the reservoir of love. Every time they teach children at school they did it for love, dedication and inspiration of their own children at home. However, their own children need their own parents' presence and time too that each moment of absence is a time lost and love deprivation of their own offspring.The life of convenience won't replace the thirst of time and presence their own children basic essentials. They said that sacrifice of teachers are written in every hearts of students as they pass by year after years.
With all those sacrifices, smiles from the students, good news of their success, respect from them and sometimes letters of appreciation elated the teachers' heart driving them to continue their heroic acts.
Usually, letters

    As teachers perform in classrooms, their collaboration with families, educators, and the community is vital to maintain stability with unity. Supporting unique lifestyles through open communication with families and children serve a definitive solution to nonjudgmental predicaments. All families and children are equally care for regardless of their circumstances. Opening children up to various lifestyles such as different lives of community helpers such as police men, fire fighters, doctors of multi-culture and mult-gender introduces children to equality. With the use of field trips to community helpers or dedicating a morning to special community speakers helps the children appreciate others and their hard work to keep us safe. A well-balanced classroom also benefits a child’s…

    If you were to ask a teacher why they chose their profession, you should not be surprised to hear them say they felt called to educate the next generation. As honorable as this calling may be, it comes with great responsibility. Teachers can become overwhelmed, feeling like the weight of the world and its future rests on their shoulders. They cannot be like parents who can choose to limit their focus on investing in their own children. A teacher’s influence can be limited to their school, their classroom, and their students.…

In the stage Identity verses Role Confusion teens begin to find out what roles they will play during their adulthood.

McLeod says, “Children are becoming more independent, and begin to look at the future in terms of career, relationships, families, housing, etc.” (McLeod). When this stage is accomplished and achieved, adolescents are able to move into adulthood being able to balance different roles and finding their identity.…

    The crowd was roaring and happily jumping from the intersection that just happened against the TCU. Everyone was ecstatic as the students waved their white towels and cheered on our team. The smell of donuts and popcorn filled the air as the game heated up. Waves of yellow and maroon filled the stadium like one united nation. During the third quarter, my friends and I sat down since we be The game was 3 to 23 and we all began to get tired and lose hope of the Gophers winning against TCU.

    For the purpose of this assignment I sat down with Ms. Taylor. Ms. Taylor is a relatively new teacher. She is in her third year of teaching and she is teaching in Houston, Texas. Ms. Taylor is a fifth grade teacher who loves her students and is eager to learn more from her students as well as the world around her when it comes to education. Her favorite part of teaching is, the ability to create relationships. Being in elementary schools you build more than students relationships. You have the opportunity to get to know the student’s family and background about your student. This allows for a stronger teacher-student relationship when you are able to know about the student and make them feel cared for and loved by their teacher.…

    Conformity describes social influence that requires a change in beliefs or behaviours in order to assimilate with a groups norms. Conformity is governed by relationships to the social understanding and meanings of what is considered to be right and wrong within a given society. It includes the processes by which group members converge on any given standard of opinion or conduct, as well as the pressures they exert on one another to uphold such standards. As a culture, we understand what it means to conform to socially constructed norms and values, and as a society, we recognize that young people are exposed to considerable conformity demands within our society. It is evident that culture plays an important role in shaping young people’s identities. During adolescence, individuals are bombarded with external influences telling them who and what they should be. Young people have the influence of their parents, friends, the media, and their…

    Regarding the statement that Coon & Mitterers' made "In many ways adolescence and young adulthood are more emotionally turbulent than midlife or old age", I totally agree. I feel that as a young adolescence many teenagers have no idea who they are or what place they are trying to get to in life. Where as a person that is in the midlife or old age stage has experienced so many things and different life scenerios that they are more likely to be aware of who they are and are more comfortable with who they are.…

    Gradually, I grow up. I leave home further and further to study on my own. From the very beginning of 20-minute’s walk to 8-hour’s train trip, and now 3-hour’s air journey, no matter where I am, the sentence “Honey, I love you”, always lingered beside my ear. Perhaps I am just like a kite, with an invisible string holding in my mother’s hand, never being able to be cut apart or unwound. However high I may soar, I’m always in the eyes of my mother and being concerned. Her silent love is the most beautiful voice in the…

    Schools are one of the first places where kid’s behavior and future educational success is shape. Teachers are carriers of either positive or negative behavior toward students. The reason why the first years of school are so critical is because kids learn the base of their educational life. I believe that teachers must love their career in order for them to pass enthusiasm, to assists, and to provide a warm environment to the students. In my opinion teachers are the second mothers for the students because students spend a lot of time with their teachers. At the same time. I believe a real teacher becomes through many years of training and experiences in the field. The same way, mothers are not born being great mothers but as their experiences with their kids expands they become experts on the field. We know that mothers look the best for their kids and one of their goals is to raise their kids so they can become professionals and pioneers for the society. Some of the mother’s role toward kids is to give them care, love, respect, lead, instruct and to try to form a safe and pleasant environment at their homes. Are these attitudes of the mothers toward their kids related to what the role of the teacher should be with the students in the classroom? If not, what should be the role of the teachers then?…

    We are unable to comprehend fully this level of unwavering commitment that is required in order to embody the concept of unconditional love. And how can we be expected to? We live such fleeting lives that we are barely able to grab onto the coattails of the fabric of time as it rushes by us like a magician sprinting offstage to catch the white rabbit that has unexpectedly slipped through his hands.The once vanishing days morph into dismal segments that are now only punctuated only by nadirs of despair or zeniths of euphoria. It is not our days of normalcy that define us, but rather the rare occasions of glorious triumph or unmistakable…
