Civic Welfare Training Service Deployment: Teaching Elementary Students
The Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) program is essential to
encouraging students to take on voluntary work and practice social
responsibility. I had the chance to educate elementary school pupils as a part
of this program, which had a significant impact on how I understood
community service and education.
We were deployed to Patag Elementary School, and it was an
opportunity and privilege to be able to teach the students. We
taught them how to read and answer comprehension questions. It
was a challenging experience because some students were playful
and didn't listen. However, I was amazed during our deployment
because you could see the happiness in the students' faces. Their
energy, curiosity, and eagerness to learn created an atmosphere of
enthusiasm and excitement.
They actively participated in all the activities we
assigned to them, and it was truly fulfilling to teach
them. Teaching them how to read made me realize
that I really wanted to be a teacher. Their
eagerness to learn makes your heart happy. I
realized that being a teacher is not easy because
you have to deal with different personalities and
behaviors. You need to have a high level of
patience with your students. I became acutely
aware of the responsibility educators bear in
shaping the minds of future generations.
Teaching elementary school students allowed me to
instill the values of empathy, respect, and social
awareness. It was an educational journey that
broadened my perspective on education, community
service, and personal growth. Participating in the
CWTS program also improved my understanding of
civic responsibility. It strengthened my belief in the
power of education and broadened my knowledge of
civic responsibility. It also showed me the value of
modifying teaching strategies to accommodate
various learning styles.
