Okay class, listen up! Sit up straight, arrange your chairs and LET'S ROCK!
Now, let's get it on! Red hair, dark eyeliner, gig shirt, black polish, metallic hand cuffs and a pair of headphones that screams the music of PARAMORE, HEY MONDAY and YELLOW CARD. Yes, quite inappropriate for a TEACHER, old pals even say that it is INDECENT for a future educator. "Oh, dear that's so shameful!" as they say...but let me ask you something, is your teaching skills measurable through your looks? Or, does the genre of music that you listen to affect your personality? It is, indeed a given statement that a teacher SHOULD BE a ROLE MODEL for the youth , then, having this kind of style and music genre SUBVERTS THE IMAGE OF AN EDUCATOR? And being a part of a band and becoming a ROCK STAR is NOT SUITABLE for a teacher?
BEING AN EDUCATION STUDENT....Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English, to be exact, I have A LOT of RULES to follow. Plus living on a convent with a bunch of nuns and girls with different attitudes and mindsets, it REALLY freaks me out! I have to do this, I have to do that...I have to be like this and that..BLAH, BLAH...and aside from working on to be a teacher, I have to set an image...but despite of all these nerve rocking things i also have my own aspiration and path to follow, and as for my heart...IT BELONGS TO THE FIELD OF MUSIC.
Having this kind of set up (lifestyle) it is really difficult for me to hold back my dreams and illusion that consumes me inside, but inspite of being busy or tired, I can always make time to practice and sing my heart out! And I will never ever stop believing and doing something to pursue my dreams---for as long as I have the PASSION and MUSIC is in my heart, IT WILL ALWAYS CALL YOU, and opportunities will come on you wherever you are...as my teacher once said: "BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THINKING."
A Teacher is a very influential ICON to the eyes of young minds, while MUSIC is an art of mixed emotions and illusions that captivate and put our hearts under a spell. To others who doesn't appreciate music , they are RUBBISH---cause for them listening to rock or metal genres are all about they NOISE. But they doesn't reckon to each details, from the artful arrangements of tunes to the sound formed. Being appreciative to rough music is very efficacious to us young. Favorite bands like PARAMORE...
YELLOWCARD...
and HEY MONDAY...
can be very INFLUENTIAL from the way they dress, their style and the way they perform on the flat form.
One quick advice, just DON'T look exactly sa them, REMEMBER that after all you're a TEACHER, you have to be a role model! DON'T MAKE ANY TROUBLE WHILE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM, DON'T ACT LIKE a Hayley Williams or a Cassadee in front of the class. Just keep in mind that you should work as a teacher and be responsible to mentain an image and BE A ROLE MODEL to INSPIRE and TOUCH A LIFE.
Soon I'll be handling little angels and even little witches and demons. I can make use of music by using it as an inspiration for my teaching strategies, MUSIC will always be in my heart cause it has no limitations and boundaries for those who really loves it!
As well as teaching MUSICALITY is a GIFT that should be used well and RESPONSIBLY, thus, combining both makes a PERFECT HARMONY on my chosen field...EDUCATION, :)
rock on always!
ROCK, PEACE, LOVE!
GOD BLESS! :)
