Choosing a profession is a life choice. And all choices in life are part of the same Paths
which is called
Purpose
.
In ancient times, it was believed that all the pieces of our Destination,
like pebbles of a single mosaic, are contained in those most beautiful and secret dreams that our heart keeps and lives by.
Only it is capable of seeing the most important and most mysterious thing in our Destiny
, only it is never mistaken.
Profession "teacher"
I chose with my heart. Noisy, mischievous, trusting and touching childhood burst into my life so quickly that it seemed that there were no years that I lived without it. I touched the vast world of goodness and purity and found myself “in this clear atmosphere of affectionate sensations, cheerful laughter, the first good efforts and diligence, pure, bright and sweet joys.” During my first vacation, I realized that I was very drawn to work. My heart yearned for children. I realized that only with them I could be myself. It has made my life richer and filled it with meaning.
I'm a lucky person. I have the most interesting job on earth - the work of a teacher
.
She was given to me as a voice, hearing, vision, as the ability to think. However, the path of a teacher is thorny and unpredictable. And this path led me, a teacher with fifteen years of experience, to the profession of “teacher-speech therapist”
. For more than two years now I have been in an atmosphere of sounds, breathing, articulation, prosody, vocabulary, grammar...
My profession and its meaning for many is a ray of hope. Understanding this, realizing the importance of my duty, I am proud of my profession!
"Speech therapist. Is there any reason to be proud? – some may ask me. But it is the speech therapist who is the teacher who is one of the first to begin to develop an interest in the Russian language and thereby contributes to the preservation of our culture. It helps every child to believe in themselves and cope with the difficulties of mastering their native language. By developing speech, we develop personality. No wonder L.S. Vygotsky wrote that “the development of speech restructures thinking, transforms it into new forms.”
Speech therapy is painstaking work. I see my mission not only to correct a child’s speech defect, but also to help him realize his capabilities. It is important for me that parents perceive their children with all their characteristics. And most importantly, I want every child to feel faith in their own strength, so that they can have a happy childhood with miracles, secrets and discoveries.
In front of me is a boy who can only imitate sounds and gesture. I ask parents to bring a family album to class. We leaf through it together with the child, who is trying to name his relatives, but he can’t do it. I ask the boy to sing a song a-a-a
and I connect his lips with my hands, and he opens his mouth again to say
ah,
and suddenly says:
ba-ba-ba.
He claps his hands and shows his beloved grandmother in the photo.
I help the baby hold the tip of his tongue behind his upper teeth by pressing on them. You can hear la-la-la,
now you can play the balalaika and call your little sister. This is how we comprehend language and its laws word by word. The main thing is that the child does not feel false and indifferent and believes the teacher.
But here is a kid who has no intention of communicating with strangers. How to establish contact with him? There are many ways, and interaction will definitely come, but only when the child himself wants it. The main thing is not to miss this important moment. Very often, a child comes to class with his favorite toy, which can become a mediator in establishing a dialogue. To do this, I must know and feel the interests of the child, communicate with him on the same wavelength, gain authority from him, show that contact with him is very dear to me. Then the child will try to do all the exercises so as not to disappoint me. Without such a relationship, it is difficult to force a child to play by my rules.
Whenever children in my speech therapy classes look into my eyes and believe in my assistance, friendship and co-creation, I remember the words of an ancient Japanese parable:
«
The young samurai stood with a bow and arrows in his hands, measuring the distance to the target with his eyes. A monk passing by said to him:
“You won’t learn to shoot accurately if you rely on correcting your mistakes.” In battle, such a case is unlikely to arise. Learn to hit the target the first time, always remember that you only have one arrow. And in life, do everything right away, don’t hope that you can fix something later!”
And I understand that all my victories and successes, all my defeats and mistakes belong to me, so I, like the young samurai in the parable, try to “hit the target the first time”
.
For the price of my defeats is great; having “gotten”
a child, one cannot deceive his expectations, he will not forgive this, and the wise
Word
helps me convey the idea to him as clearly and deeply as possible.
We sometimes don't even notice what the role of the Word
in our life.
The word
is a component of our speech.
Words
are formed into sentences, into texts, with the help of which, in turn, communication and
knowledge of the world occurs.
But it’s impossible to imagine it without the sounds of speech, it would be so dull! The laughter of children, their cheerful babble fills us with joy. Words and songs about love give strength to live. Poetry and prose elevate and educate. So let these words sound correctly and clearly!
Speech is the queen of all sciences, as the sage Euripides believed. A person is able to influence others with a word, convince, argue, make an impression, achieve success, manage, enjoy a play or film, understand humor and joke, create poems, poems, songs, and even save with the Word.
Isn't this a miracle!
Isn’t it a miracle to realize that children came to you with multiple speech defects and left with clear speech, that they fell in love with their native Russian language, that the knowledge, abilities, and skills acquired from you will help them in their studies at school or in general life.
And the speech therapist is a magician who creates that same miracle!
