He said that do not be sad or disappointed if you are worse than others and work on being positive.
I interviewed Han Sung-Chul teacher. He came our school in this year and he teaches geology for the first grade. I asked why he become an earth science teacher. The Earth science was an easy subject for him, so when he was a high school student, he chose earth science. Then, he majored in earth science education at university. One more reason was because earth science is a broad subject. He wanted to study the universe though he is only a little human being. I think he is a humble, diligent person and he knows about himself.
I asked which one is more important for students : to go to a better university or to be happy at CSH. He thinks it is different for each student. If his or her goal is to go to a good university, the university is more important for the student. If the student wants to enjoy the present, then high school life is more important because it is their own life and they should live by their free will. I asked then what kind of student he was. The present was more important for him. He tried to find what he wanted to do, and it was more important than university. He doesn’t know if he will like his job in the future, but he is satisfied now.
His favorite sport is basketball, but he has never played basketball at CSH. I asked why he doesn’t. He answered that the students are very bright, so the teachers should study hard. Also, modern science is changing constantly. If teachers have old facts, it isn’t useful for students, So he doesn’t have enough time to exercise. I think he is passionate and hard-working. He studies hard to teach students well.
I asked what he thinks about students at CSH. He thinks that they are passionate and their eyes are shiny, but sometimes they are too focused on results. Actually, the process is as important as the result, especially if you are a science high school student. He said we should think more about the process. So, he thinks we should behave with pride because we belong to a science high school. Most of us are good. Therefore, if someone is little worse than others, he or she doesn’t need to be sad or disappointed. He wants students to not regret attending this school and work on being positive. He knows what is important for us and what we should do. Also, I think that he knows why students feel stress, and he wants students to be happy.
I like the way this new teacher thinks! Every student is different and has different priorities. Yet all of the students at CSHS are extremely bright. I hope the competition becomes less of a strain on our students as they realize that their uniqueness is just as important as their competence. :)
