There are many qualities a teacher could possess to be considered worthy: caring, passionate, responsible, organized, fair, empathetic, outgoing, flexible... etc. However, only one really sticks out for me above the rest and this is understanding.
From reading the two texts I have come to terms that I am an introvert, I need to be in control, think before I talk/act, like to figure things out on my own, and hate to be interrupted. I am not sure these aspects make a good teacher. However, I did realize that I am very understanding. This helps me to analyze the situation and come up with the best way to handle it, rather than acting quickly to the emotions that the situation may bring upon me. Therefore, I believe a worthy teacher takes the time to understand and analyze a situation, which can effectively control it.
Every student is different in nature and cannot be taught/disciplined the same, when the teacher takes the time to understand where the student is coming from, I feel any bad or complicated moment can transcend into a positive one!
