The morning spark, a spark is like when you have a match or a light on and there is a spark of flame that ignites something. something is a kind of bright light that motivates you Ellie walked into her school feeling the familiar rush of anticipation for the day as a teacher, her passion for helping people learn English was the driving force behind her every morning, so Ellie He entered school the same day. The surge of anticipation is this feeling, this flow of emotion, she feels good, her passion is English.

English was the driving force, like driving a car, it is the motivation basically behind her grieving, the classroom was her stage, her

students

, the eager audience ready to die in the world. of language learning diving into jumping although she often had a lot on her plate um she was often snowed in with grades and assignments and of course she didn't have the luxury of flexible time she was happy it was a challenging but rewarding job to have a a lot on your plate doesn't mean a lot of food, although that would be nice, it means you are busy and if you are snowed in, imagine snow falling, you have all the work, activities and homework that means.

You are busy too, there are too many things to do and you are snowed in. She has to mark her homework well. Flexible hours in many jobs. You can choose the time you start and the time you finish, as long as you complete the number of hours. Every day, unfortunately, teachers generally cannot have a flexible schedule because the work day is fixed. His work was challenging, difficult but rewarding. Satisfying. There is something magical about watching a student's confidence grow. She thought about organizing her notes for the day's lesson and there is Ellie, the teacher preparing for today's English lesson, chapter two is a difficult task.

I'll explain that in a moment. Halfway through the semester, Ellie found a challenge that really tested her. say a semester a school term typically three months for a term a new student Mia had significant difficulty speaking in front of the class she was very shy and getting her to speak in front of others was a difficult task so a difficult task means something very difficult to do a big task somewhat difficult Ellie tried every technique she knew but progress was slow and her usual methods seemed inadequate not right enough I knew it was up to her to help me succeed but it was a situation that required more than just enthusiasm I needed a deeper understanding and a new approach the expression it was up to her means it was her responsibility it's up to me to teach you English it's my responsibility it's up to me to cook at home maybe sometimes I wonder what her responsibilities feel a little discouraged, a little unmotivated heartless Ellie sought advice from Mr.

Thompson, a seasonal teacher known for his innovative teaching methods and deep empathy for students, so an experienced teacher means an experienced teacher, we can say, an experienced worker, an experienced engineer. experienced doctor, an experienced chef with a lot of experience, empathy is when you understand other people, you understand what they think and what they feel, let's listen to Mr. Thompson Ellie, he said that sometimes it's not about trying harder but finding a new path. You tried to use narration as a way to engage Mia. Interesting, she suggested incorporating more personal stories and encouraging Mia to share hers in a smaller, more supportive environment.

There's Ellie, there's Mia looking a little shy, then Ellie gets the idea. Well, Mr. Thompson's idea is she could use storytelling to help the student learn, let's find out how Mia reacts, what do you think, how would you react? Let's look at chapter three, change, a change is a change in a new direction, usually positive, inspired by Mr. Thompson's advice, Ellie introduced the narrative into it. lessons that created a safe space for Mia to express herself without fear of judgment. Little by little, Mia began to open up her stories, becoming a bridge to a more complex use of language and, ultimately, greater confidence, so MIA began to open up to express her feelings more open. speaking in front of others and becoming more confident Ellie's classroom was transformed, not only did Mia begin to thrive, but the entire class also became more engaged learning the power of empathy and self-expression.

Ellie's classroom then transformed, it radically changed Chang in a big way, Mia started to bloom so to bloom is to grow and develop almost like a flower will bloom um and it was great for everyone in the class Ellie realized that teaching was more than just transmitting information, it was about connecting with students on a human level to Transmit information is simply giving information to transmit and transmit and it's not about that right, it's about connecting when the term came to an end. Remember the three-month term at school. Ellie felt a renewed sense of purpose that she had been thinking she had been thinking about.

In the past, before today, she had been thinking about taking time off from work, even taking a sabbatical, in fact, she had even thought about changing careers, so obviously, before today she was not happy, she wanted time free at work is when you don't work. It's free time, vacation, taking a gap year, usually it's taking six months or a year off from work, where you don't work but do another activity, maybe a project, maybe volunteering, maybe traveling, maybe working for another company sometimes, so Ellie hadn't been very happy. Well, at her job she was, but maybe her pressure was getting to her, however, she now knew that this job suited her from the beginning.

Teaching was where she felt most comfortable and where she decided to stay. If a job suits her from the beginning, then she. You're strong in that position It's the perfect job for you It suits me to the ground It's perfect for me It suits me and my personality Let's say that was it Ellie finally finds Well, her sense of purpose She comes overtakes the ch and helps Mia, all her children and herself to be happy teaching Lucky Old Ellie, so there you have it.
