[Recommended Habit] Let's Write a Diary

Hello!
I'm Dai, a supporter for first-time homeroom teachers!

I mainly post content on the theme of "school education."

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
1. People interested in "education" in general
2. People who have worries or anxieties about "education"
3. (Therefore) People who lack confidence and
　are struggling without any comrades
4. People who want to be themselves
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

For those people,

I will share
valuable lessons I have gained through my own investments

four times a week.

I will post
while interweaving paid articles.

Even in the free sections,
there is plenty of
useful learning, so

please stay with me until the end.

Arrival Greeting

April 1st was the company entrance ceremony.

For public school teachers,
was it the appointment ceremony?

At your workplace,
I imagine you gave an arrival greeting.

What kind of greeting did you give?

You really,
really should record it.

If you stated your aspirations
in today's greeting,

that becomes your so-called
"original intention," doesn't it?

Anything that is a "first"
leaves a deep, lasting memory.

Just as the music you listened to
obsessively in junior high school
becomes unforgettable for life,

the words you spoke
yesterday in front of the teachers in the staff room
will define your future.

I want to see eyes sparkle

By the way, I
vividly remember my arrival greeting from 15 years ago.

I remember talking about that
with my eyes sparkling.
That was the folly of youth (laughs).

But it was my true intention.
I truly felt that way from the bottom of my heart.

Why do I want to be a teacher?

Facing my students,
I asked myself that question.

The answer was simple,

I want to convey that studying is fun!

That was it.

By studying here,
I don't just mean

things like factorization,
classical grammar,
or the separation of powers,

not just desk-based academics
(though classroom learning is important too!)

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
How do I turn what I imagine into reality?
How do I deal with my socially awkward and shy personality?
How do I get that girl I like to notice me?
How can I make a living doing what I love?
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

Learning such
raw (!?)
wisdom for living is
what studying means to me in general,

Study

in other words,
it means

growth

immediately.

It's fun to grow
as much as I study.

I'm happy that by changing myself,
I can have a positive influence on those around me
and the community I'm part of
becomes more vibrant.

Of course, there are painful and difficult times,
but as long as I have friends

to share the ups and downs with
and complain to,
I can manage.

If I keep things to myself
and my thoughts and feelings become isolated,
I lose the vitality to live,
so I avoid that at all costs,

and the process of running alongside
friends who share the same thoughts (who eventually become students)
is

fun,
and my eyes naturally sparkle.

Let's record our days.

With that thought in mind,
I have been writing
in a diary since I was a university student.

It has been over 20 years now.

Writing a diary.

This is a recommended habit!

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
1. Tasks performed today
2. Records of conversations with students and colleagues
3. Thoughts and feelings at that time
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

At night, before going to bed,
as the mood strikes,
I write it down.

Of course, it's okay if it's not every day.

It's not an obligation.
I do it because I want to.
I do it because there is meaning in doing it.

The secret to making it a habit is,
keep it loose, keep it effortless, but don't quit.

As you keep writing,
there are things that become visible.

15 years ago,
when I changed jobs from a private company to a school teacher,
I was the definition of arrogant (bitter laugh).

When I look back at past records,
I understand that very well.
(To a level I can't show you all 💦)

More than any other teacher at school,
my classes were the best!
I had a tendency to be convinced of that.

Three years later,
without knowing that my pride would be broken
and I would experience a painful setback.

By my third or fourth year as a teacher,

my own self-righteous thoughts
were too far ahead,
and a distance grew between me and the students.

Everything I did backfired,
and it became increasingly suffocating.

The ones who saved me from that state
were the colleagues I had looked down upon when I first started.

In areas I didn't understand,
they watched over my precariousness,
and helped me at just the right time.

While feeling grateful,
I also realized my own foolishness.

Fools never learn until they die

as they say,
but because of the setback at this time,
it leads to who I am now,
which I understand well when I re-read my diary.

A diary is
not just a work memo,

but if you keep writing,
it becomes your own grand story.

For the past few years,
I have used an app
to write down
the emotions and feelings I had at the time.

It's like this.

Things you've written up
can also become material for note.

It's like killing three or four birds with one stone!

People who read note
must all have a high level of awareness regarding output.

By all means,
starting from something casual,
please try keeping a diary!

I highly recommend it.

Thank you very much
for reading until the end.

For those who are anxious or worried
about how to interact with students

I have started an official LINE account
to help you say, 'I'm glad I became a teacher!'
I have started an official LINE account.

'The students won't listen to me at all'
'I hate my colleagues and the parents'

For people who have these kinds of worries,
I am sending out regular content

so that you can say,
'I'm glad I became a teacher!'
You can register for free,

so please take this opportunity to register
and deepen your learning!
