Teaching Metaphor

I see teaching as an amusement park. There will be ups and downs like a rollercoaster, with easy, fast success with some challenges to reach the top. The classroom will be like an amusement park, filled with different people who all have diverse interests. Some individuals will progress fast through lines, while others may need to stand and wait for things to process, but both have similar goals. I will need to be the attraction and the ringmaster for my students. I will need to be their amusement and create exciting new ways to attract them to learn.

I had to make up this metaphor for my Education 250 class but I believe I should always remember it and it may help me overcome my fears when I am a new teacher.
In our Educational Psychology class the question was "What is the main fear of a first year teacher"
-A student answered "Classroom management."
That is my main fear as well. But the metaphor I have come up with really puts things in perspective for me. I will have to ALWAYS remember that some students are just going to take longer at grasping concepts and I will just have to remember to be patient- all my students will be different- which in turn will make me feel even more grateful when I see everyone light  bulb flick on! .... Can't wait!

I think I will hang my metaphor near my desk so when I feel like I am losing control over my class I can glance at it and consider the elements of the classroom which could be effecting the learning styles of my students.
Reflect upon the “school environment, emotional support, sociological composition, personal/physical elements.”
