How a good teacher has to be? Can you recognize your best teacher? Which are the characteristics that make him/her the best? When we talk about the quality of a good teacher, we usually address issues of technique, content, and presentation, but there´s something else. Teachers have the very important responsibility of shaping the lives of young, with this responsibility comes great pride and joy. Therefore all teachers should strive for what can be considered to be a “good teacher.” A good teacher can be defined as someone who always pushes students to do their best but at the same time trying to make learning interesting as well as creative. A positive or negative influence from a teacher early on his life can have a great effect on the life of a child, teenager or even an adult. I was in the fourth semester in high school and it´s necessary to recognize that during this period of my education was not easy to understand myself. I didn´t have a good relation with the rest of my class, I guess we couldn´t share the way of thinking; I had just a few friends and that was enough; I was going to school to do what really meant something for me and that was finishing school, getting good grades and being prepared for the next step. The problem started when I realized that I didn´t know what was that step I was planning to go forward. I could heard some other people talking about their school plans and I was always trying to find a good answer to the habitual question everybody asked me “What do you want to study next?”, and my answer was limited to “I´m not really sure”. I suppose that if those people haven´t asked me so frequently that question, I could have never tried to find the answer.
