My SEA-Teacher journey has been a profoundly transformative experience, shaping me both as a future educator and as an individual. This program provided me with the opportunity to immerse myself in a vibrant educational environment, where I learned from inspiring mentors and forged lasting friendships.
Through observing classroom dynamics and actively participating in various teaching practices, I gained invaluable insights into diverse pedagogical approaches, significantly enriching my understanding of education. Additionally, my exposure to Indonesia's rich cultural heritage broadened my perspectives on life. The connections I established, despite language barriers, taught me that we can communicate and understand one another through our shared values.
Indeed, this journey has had a significant impact on my professional growth and personal development, instilling in me a deeper appreciation for the power of education and cultural exchange.
