I don't know whether Obama will bring change to the whole world or not but he's already a hero for me in a sense that he had the guts to fill all those people with hope that so much will change. Actually, all politicians say pretty much the same. Nevertheless, you don't believe all of them. In fact, you may not believe Obama either, but hope, he fills you with, is something you can't really control. Isn't it, by the way, that hope is unconditional? But what I wanted to say is you have to be either crazy or courageous out of measure or the third option is thirsty for power to fill the people with hope and great expactations. It's such a great challenge, almost equal to performing miracles, to satisfy all of them. I know one person can do a lot, and you can even read about many people who, one could say, performed miracles of that kind, but still, how can you expect that one person will change everything. We should keep in mind that we're all responsible for this world and we shouldn't blame a single person, like Obama, if it doesn't work, at least, as long as he/she tries and has good intentions. Besides we should be careful with our expectations because the more we expect the less we appreciate some smaller changes that we would normally, that is, not expecting, appreciate.
Nevertheless, I hope that someday Obama will turn out to be one of the people who brought change to this world.

Teaching practice
After so many positive posts about teaching practice, I guess, it's time for a negative one: mine.
My attitude toward teaching when submitting my documents to TTC was not negative, in fact, now it isn't negative either. I think that the profession of a teacher can be very satisfying. I just couldn't imagine myself as a teacher, as a good teacher. I never thought I was predisposed to become a good teacher, and guess what? After my first ten lessons, is it because of the power of subconscious or something else, it seems I was right. Well, my worst problem, as a matter of fact, the one I was most afraid of, was discipline. The funniest thing is the fact that I am after my practice in primary school. What is it going to be like in junior high school then?
Furthermore, I was never satisfied with my preparation for the lessons. There was always not enough time. I'm afraid that work, practice and studies is too much for me. How can you conduct a good lesson if you're sleepy, tired and so you lack energy and enthusiasm. I don't know how people manage to combine all three. I'm aware of the fact that later it's not going to be any easier; there will always be something that will require to be combined.
