Most important purpose in education  is "Self fulfillment"

To understand why self fulfillment is the most important purpose in education, first we have to analyze the meaning of self fulfillment.  Self fulfillment is defined as the ability to make yourself happy and complete through your own efforts in other words is  the motivation to realize one's own maximum potential  and possibilities to be success in life.

We all know that Education is very necessary for human in order to articulate themselves and achieve fullness. Education is concerned with the full development of the individual's powers and potentialities in addition education help students to set their minds free from ignorance also education  gives students the tools needed in order to help them to reach their power and potentialities to be successful in their  life.

As Maria Montessori said "To educate in its fullest sense is to create conditions in which the child can live and is led by these conditions to live as fully as possible through each succeeding stage of his development, meeting and solving in his own experience the problems of each stage as it comes, and so gaining the power to meet and to solve the problems that await him in further stages. Such conditions it is for a school to provide."

How can we help our students reach their potential to the fullest?

Education should provide the opportunities for fullest development of individual’s talents and personality. It should help every child to develop their potential, interest and abilities. Through education, the teachers help students to reach their talent and potential and develop their personalities so that they can improve their lives and transform their societies in future.

Teaching goes beyond of trespassing information from teachers to students because teacher must help their students to learn about their strengths and then help them to learn the skills that they need to maximize their personal potential also to help them to set personal goals and to develop skills to achieve their goals.

After all, what is most important is not what students learn; teacher must emphasis in helping students to develop their skills to reach their personal goals and also to help them to overcome their weakness. Thus, the emphasis of education should never simply be to have students obtain knowledge but it should be to have students analyze, evaluate, use, and build upon what they have learned to reach their goals.

Base on that I as a pre-service teacher my main goal is that all my students learn about their strengths and interest, as well the skills that they need to set and follow to reach their goals and to develop their potential to the fullest.

How can we, teachers, be a source of inspiration to our students?

First able we need to define what inspiration is so inspiration is defined as  the action or power f moving the intellect or emotions of a person in other word inspiration is when we inspired other in order to make them want to be better in some specific way.

Teachers sometime think the little things that they do to help students to learn are very insignificant in their student’s life and this can happen because students don’t show their emotion to the teacher but it is well known that the little things that the teacher do can make big difference in students and that little difference can inspired students to learn and to reach their goals.

So what can teacher do to be a source of inspiration?

Some of the things that a teacher can do are

·         Teacher insists that each student do the best he or she is capable of doing. Students will feel comfortable because they know that their teacher believes in their capabilities and also that they can learn because the teacher is giving them the support that they need.

·         Teacher requires each student to think carefully and to make her his own decisions. Sometime students feel that they cannot make their own decision because of the self steam issue that their facing but if teacher give them the confidence and help them to believe in themselves and also tell them that there is nothing wrong with expressing their ideas and it is okay to be wrong sometimes because nobody is perfect as a result students are going to feel better with the teacher.

·       Teacher produces students who are respectful, responsible, and successful. If students learn from their teacher that they need to be respectful and responsible in order to be successful in life only in that way teacher have accomplished their purpose.

In conclusion what teachers do to help students learn and also how the teacher make feel the students in the classroom are the thing that can change student’s life forever. Teacher can be a source of inspiration for their students just with giving them confidence and believing in them also helping them to maximize their potential and helping them to set goals to be success in life.
