This podcast gave me a chance to reflect on the most memorable moments of my three-week field experience. During these three weeks, every aspect of observation and discussion and practice has been invaluable. This assignment reminded me of the problems I encountered during the internship, as well as the problems I found and how to solve them. I was also able to recall again the inspired I experienced during the field as an educator in the future. In fact, the process of brainstorming, planning, and executing this assignment was a state of re-learning for me. I also hope that by talking and thinking about my personal experience, and my perception of this indelible moment, I can bring empathy to the audience and give them a certain extent of reflection on the current educational system. We are constantly learning, constantly growing, and maybe next week's version of us will be different in some thinking way from last week's version of us. Therefore, I hope that through the process of this assignment, I can find a story worth telling, which can bring new ideas and thoughts to the audience as well as myself.
After listening to Moth stories, I usually feel some feelings that I could feel the same way with the author, so as to find out what impact the story has on the author, which is also what I want to learn. Moreover, these stories will point out aspects that I have never thought about carefully, give me new inspirations and reflect on them. In the process of reflection and storytelling, I could see what happened before with the views of an adult now. Although I am still learning and improving, I will have a very different way of looking at problems or thinking from the past. I also hope that by talking about my personal experience and thinking about it, I could make the audience feel the same, and make them feel that I am not alone, and I can meet someone who is also considerate of my feelings as well. At the beginning of planning and executing this task, I think it is the hardest. I think we are who we are because there are different factors that affect us, and a lot of them are influenced by our past experiences. Therefore, I think a lot about which story I want to tell and is worth telling. But it's also the process that allows me to reflect on how these things have affected me and give me an opportunity to think about what I've gone through to become who I am.
