Who am I as a professional?

Professionalism means having the skills and qualities that characterise a practising professional. It develops over time, and in the context of professional practice.

(Griffith University, 2011, p, 5)

The facets of a classroom are a mystery to me but a mystery I’m eager to discover.

I know that with time my opinion on my role as a teacher, my perspective of a diverse classroom, how I will teach my students, and even where I teach are all likely to change; however, I feel as though I now have a foundation to begin on. Why I want to teach feels like it should be the easiest question to answer; however, it remains the hardest to put into words.

Since they have not undergone the same experiences as their patients, nor are they biologically inclined to react the same way to those
