REFLECTION 9:- AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS

Awareness and consciousness has a link in some part. To me, to be aware of a situation you have to conscious about the details of what it entails. Being an aspiring teacher, these two concepts are extremely important because you as the head of the classroom have to be aware of everything that is happening and wants to absorb the situation in order to make it better. As a teacher, you always want to know what is happening in the classroom so your students can be receiving the proper treatment according to their needs. For example, if you are conscious and aware you know when you have to repeat something you have said or when you would have to move a child because of him/her disturbing the class and putting others in jeopardy. Not only in the classroom is this necessary but also in the outside. This is where it is needed, because if you are not careful you will get hurt. For example, if you are not aware and conscious of your surroundings a person can be robbed and/or injured if they are not careful. In the article to me, it implies that awareness and consciousness work hand in hand and once you become that way it is hard for you not to think and work with awareness and consciousness. This skill deals with a lot of mental ability. It requires a lot of brainpower at first but once you get into it, it is extremely easy to manipulate. In conclusion, I think that this article was extremely interesting and a revelation to me. This is so because it showed me that thinking this way gives you a better look at life and most times it is the safest way to go. Therefore, as an aspiring teacher I surely am going to use awareness and consciousness in my classroom to enable the success of the children I will be catering to. I will also implore them to think, talk and teach others to look in that perspective. By doing that, eventually the world will be a better place because everyone is thinking with consciousness and awareness.
