Life becomes interesting when we come across challenges but my teaching kids job experience can prove that my idea was wrong to some extent.I am from Dubai and was raised throughout my life in that multicultural city. I am a hardworking person and I love facing challenges at the same time to overcome it. At the age of 16, I applied for a job in a non-governmental organisation that helps orphans children and I was told to teach them mathematics.All the children were aged between 5 – 10. I got inspired about the availability of this job.I applied for this job from my school and I was told that I will be paid AED 1500 (approx. CAD 535 ) on a monthly basis.
On my first day, I was packed with enthusiasm and moved to the class to teach the children. Since these children knew that I will be teaching mathematics, they became too playful and some were crying, I wasted my first day calming them. Myself, being a teenager could not tolerate the naughty stuff, they were doing continuously. After 3 weeks, I managed to teach them few mathematical concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. After 1 week of starting my teaching, I tried resigning the job but could not do as I signed a contract with the NGO on a monthly basis.
At last, I managed to complete one month and I purposely retired from the job. I was very happy due to the fact that I escaped from those naughty children as they did not show any interest on the subject at the same time were incredibly naughty. I did not want to be strict on them as I was not looking myself as a teacher, I wanted to be one of them and teach them but it did not work. I tried to be different from the normal teachers’ and educate them in a fun way. Moreover, I did not join the job for cash, I purposely applied to gain new experience at the same time interact with kids. However, I now realise the importance and greatness of primary teachers as they need too much patience to move along with the kids as well as teach them. Teaching primary children was my worst job experience in my life.
