Something that I've been learning throughout is the importance of connections with the students. While it is important to establish and maintain the role as a trainer and mentor in their eyes, it is also important to connect with them and be their friend to some extent. These kids long for connections and they need a teacher who will love them and not just worry all the time pushing them academically. Forming these connections is not only personally valuable, but it creates such a positive environment for the class.
I have really enjoyed my experience as a SDE despite all of its hardships and challenges. I found myself in very low points but also in very high points, but I became a better trainer by working to make the most of my experience and looking for opportunities to learn.
