ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the author's experiences when he aspired to become an educator. After he graduated and found his first teaching job, he waited patiently for the school year and the confidence to arrive. But the confidence never did. When he clamored for advice, expertise, some source of information, he found Harry and Rosemary Wong Dillon, who gave him a book which had all of the answers. He realised that having eye contact, being ready, being aware of your body language, and having a task ready on entrance were the all required. A great teacher is not something you are just taught to be in college, pushed to be through test scores, or coached to become through observations. It is something you become through your experience and your reflection, by paying attention to your everyday teaching life.
