Name some of your key gifts or strengths as a teacher. Now name a struggle or difficulty you commonly have in teaching. How do you understand the relation between your profile of giftedness and the kind of trouble you typically get into in the classroom?

First I consider my greatest gift is the opportunity to care for the learning needs of my students and work to help them to become people useful to society. 

Some of my key gifts as a teacher are: 

• Strong desire to help my students and the vocation to teach.
• The ease of establishing close relationships with my students.
• My ability as a counselor and my ability to motivate students to love learning.
• My ability to work with both academics and the social and moral part in the lives of students.
• Some difficulties that I commonly faced when I am teaching are:
• The lack of creativity in the design of my classes to keep my students interested because sometimes they get bored easily.
• Sometimes I have difficulty controlling discipline in the classroom.
• Occasionally I have difficulties mastering some issues regarding the techniques and methods that I used to develop certain activities.

 
I understand the relationship between the profile of giftedness and the difficulties typically I faced in the classroom as a paradox through which teaching takes place, if  we embrace  a viewpoint in which opposites are joined, so  that way we could see things clearly  and as a whole. Through that we can learn more about the self-hood from which good teaching comes.

I think that  we all have our strengths and weaknesses and knowing them helps us accept ourselves as unique individuals within a whole. Finally a good teacher must use that ability discern among its qualities to overcome the difficulties towards the best education for their students.
