Rewards of Teaching (A Reflection of Experience) By: Ma. Cristina B. Balsamo “Never in my wildest dreams have I dreamt of becoming a teacher.” This was my introductory line when I delivered my impromptu speech in front of a group of teachers who took master’s class at Xavier University.

One child might need more help than another or one child might like different things from the other. The way that adults work with children can show the children respect.

Reflections on my learning experience – a personal story Inspired by the research performed by LDI on this subject‚ I have decided to put down what I have learned about learning in the course of my formal education as well as my experience in learning to live.
