The author reflects on their experience creating and implementing their first lesson plan for a teaching demonstration. They found the process of developing the plan to be highly stressful as it required skills like predicting student responses, managing time, and controlling their temper that they had never done before. Through teaching the lesson, the author realized it was more than just imparting knowledge - they needed to educate students and make learning engaging. After completing the demo, the author's perspective on teaching changed completely. They recognized the importance of changing their attitudes and values to become an educator rather than just transmitting information.
