Today for field experience I got to help one of the students who was struggling in math. When I am there I usually correct papers and help students if they need help, but today the teacher asked if I would be willing to try and help a student catch up. He came over and I taught him new methods for multiplying till he learned a method that worked the best for him. He is still confused, but it was so great to be able to help him. After helping him the teacher told me he has never resounded so well, and she thinks it is because I was a male and he responded better because of that. Before I left the teacher was very grateful and told me that we need more people like me in the field. It really made me feel good to not only be able to help the student, but to be able to make an impression on my field experience adviser. I really think that I am going to like teaching and I cant wait to get more experience, and then actually become a teacher.

What a wonderful compliment! That is so awesome to hear your supervising teacher tell you that. I'm sure it was very well-deserved!
