2. My experience
• In my first teaching area, i found a lot of things
which i never learn in my life. I am happy and glad to
say for giving me full support in my first teaching
experience. Sometimes i felt that i can able to learn
many things from the institution where i worked first
time. Yes i learn a lot. The institution where i worked
belong to multicultural workplace. Really it gave me
a chance to see all cultural groups under one rules
and regulations. Another i found my colleagues who
are senior to me and belong to different ethnic
groups. Sometimes i found them are very supportive
if i see from the positive point of view.

• Do you want to know what i learn from my first teaching
institution?
• Just wait i am telling you, have patience ......
• First i learn about from this institution is how to meet the
people to join my job; taking advise from them and going to
meet the concerned person; the concerned teacher introduces
my name in front of the other colleagues; the concerned
teacher gives me guidance to go to the bank and to open the
account, the concerned teacher gave me his signature to open
my account; the concerned teacher gives me the time-table
along with what subjects i have to teach and so on.
• Secondly, i learn how to do invigilator and how to collect the
papers when the time is over; how to submit it to the In-
charge of the examination of the concerned subjects to check
out the attendance of the students; and so on;

• Thirdly, i learn how to conduct the election of the institution.
So interesting when i observe such guidelines given by the
senior members; different symbols are employed to designate
the party; arranging the roll numbers in and name in order
way; checking their ID card for voting and giving suggestion
to put one’s ballot paper to the box what ever kept there; Is
not interesting? Really i felt interesting.
• Fourthly, i learn how to conduct the competitive examination;
how to give guidelines to the students; how to collect the
paper; seating arrangement and so on;
• Fiftly, i learn how to interact people of different ethic groups;
observing their conversation gives me an interesting thinking
process to write down how beautiful about positive viewponts;

• Sixly, i learn how to perform cultural programme of the
students coming from different part of the country;
• In sum up, really interesting to observe such process in the
institution. I learn the tactics and strategies used by the senior
people how to handle any upcoming problematic situation.
Such senior gives a value system in the development of the
institution. They conduct the conferences, seminars,
workshops etc sothat students as well as young teachers can
get benefit from such programmes.
• The most interesting thing which i learn from my first
teaching institution is about diversity of the cultural aspects
that one possess since childhood and binding it together
under one rules and regulations to function system smoothly.

• Another interesting thing is that the style of the
performance of one’s is quite different from one to
another; it reflects one’s nature of belongingness since
childhood and it socialised to the institution.
• I am not wrong to say that i learnt a lot of things from my
first teaching experience not only in the academic but
also in the administration line.
• i have the opportunity to teach a number of subjects to
enhance i wider coverage of the subjects such things are
not possible without the cooperation from the institution
especially without the permission of the concerned
teachers as well as other colleagues.

• I leant that without any difficulty no developments take place. Any
difficulties have to bear with full confidence without any hesitation. If you
imagine one moment for example,
• “if you are going on the forest, suddenly thorn stucks to you, will you allow
it to enter in your body?
• No, right, then you try to take it out at any cost so that you can proceed
your work of going. It means that you have the strategies to take out the
thorn.
• In the same way life is also a journey. A journey will end at the time of
death. Like thorns in the forest, difficult ties coming in your side while your
first teaching is going on have to be reduced with the help of good strategies
in the form of your own self monitoring style to maintain the system.

 So, open your eyes when you encountered any such
situation.
 Such learning experience gave me another
opportunity to explore something new in my second
teaching system which is slightly monoculturalism in
nature.
