Building
Students’
Character
By: Fawzia Alghamdi
Building someone’s character starts from
childhood. Children are not only raised by their
parents, teachers play an important role in their
lives, too. Building children’s character is
challenging. Every school set its rules of
behavior and implement certain policies to apply
them with its students and teachers.
Teachers in the other hand, are the main factor
in building students’ personalities. Students see
them every day. They watch how their teachers
handle challenges and do the same. Students see
their teachers as role models. They simulate
them in everything.
So, teachers are responsible for encouraging
the good behavior in their students and teach
them how to deal with life struggles wisely in
future. Classroom activities should be designed
to develop ethical principles that can last far
beyond the classroom and after students leave
school.
They always say; true character is instilled at a
deep level, so that positive behavior is
automatic. Children need to be aware of all
character traits from early ages.
The big question is; ‘How can we raise
children to behave well when no one can see
them?
To answer this question, we as teachers, need
to make a lot of efforts to enhance morals
throughout our daily lessons. We need to create
a comfortable atmosphere in our classrooms and
establish a foundation of independent and
growth-mindset learners. We must teach
students how to solve their own problems
through making projects, volunteering in their
own community or empathizing with others. We
can also make parents help to support their own
children. This will not only help students but it
also can benefit in building a strong community
spirit and strong family relations.
A Chance to Change
Every human has a chance to change
By Abdulrahman Alqahtani
Everyone can choose to make a good change in
his/her life, but no one can succeed from the first
try. You must try more than 10-20 times to
acquire the experience, and some of these tries
might fail. Eventually, you will find your way to
success.
First, you should seek knowledge from an
experienced person. He/She will be able to
teach you in a much shorter time than
anticipated. You must find stability in both life
and work; then, you will be able to see your
future on the right path.
It is important to follow famous writers’ lives
step by step to acquire their experiences to help
us in our life. If we read those writers books, we
will find that they have faced many obstacles,
but they have gone over it. In fact, we are trying
to imitate them.
