I feel like I am working alone and I am at the center of the process. I am not in close connection to my students. There is much thought and little action. Knowledge comes from books, and there are many to be read. I cannot accomplish everything I am supposed to. I feel frustrated and sometimes I feel like I am a failure as a teacher. It feels very different from my past experiences, when I would have students speak English in a few months - now the overcrowded classes do not seem interested in learning English, and I seem not to be able to seduce them to want it.
In this picture, I am the worried cat and the big yellow light bulb does not remind me of like a great new idea but of a big question mark.

I feel very much like the bigger rabbit in the picture. As I am very caring and affectionathe, I want my students to feel and know that I care about them too. I want to be in closer connection with students. I want them to feel embraced by my teaching and at the center of the learning process. I now realize that even though I cannot learn all of their names, which bothers me but seems impossible since they are some 400 this year, I can connect in other ways by creating an atmosphere of confidence and by making them more active in the process and more aware of it. I want and need them to trust me.

I would like to see my students with a desire to learn just as these little animals have a desire to eat their favorite foods.
I would like to be like this bunny that knows how to give the specific food that each pet needs.

I'm trying to solve the issues that are consuming me. I see that my students ask for help. They have many problems that do not let them see school as a life-changing opportunity.
I also feel uneasy about not being able to help them.

I hope I can face the challenges that are coming, successfully.
In this picture the rabbit is out, clibing a ladder and trying to reach the moon. His face looks like he is making an effort and is close to the moon. He managed to get out and is, step-by-step, managing to achieve his goal. The ladder may be hold by many people, by friends and loved ones.
I chose this picture as a contrast to the scared rabbit. It is a behaviour I want to have in the future and deal with all my challenges calmly and focused.

I feel insecure and a bit scared about uncertain things I'm going to find in the future.
In this picture, the rabbit is looking outside, to the night and the moon. It seems scared to leave his house, as if it is a sort of challenge.
We are learning many things here in Finland, in its context. Our reality in Brazil is quite different and althought I believe that with support and slowly we can cause a positive impact, it is still a challenge.

I wish my work to be tasteful and nutritive.

I feel I'm under a pressure of tasks without clear outcome.

But in the future, I wish to be like someone who guides others, only to show them the way, but they, my students, will be the ones who know their own paths. In the image, we see a dog guiding his owner. In fact, it just helps her get where she wants to go. This metaphor is great for what I think because I do not want to convince my students to go where I want they go, but where they themselves will want to go in their future.

I think that, nowadays, I'm like some policeman, that only watches the students and say where they have to go. They must obey me, and go on their lives with the instructions I gave them. Maybe the image of the pig will remember the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, that is, those who are in charge, as teachers are in school. The fact is, I feel like I'm just watching them now, telling them what they should do, how they should do it, without the freedom to build their own way.
