Being able to connect with individuals is a very crucial part of education. It is thought the interaction that is made that relationships are formed. When it comes to connecting with others, it is important that relationships are built off of trust. Through these types of connections, someone can form a strong, lasting bond with other individuals. Through this lesson, I learned that an important way to connect with people is through listening to them. Listening is a hard skill to master, and not many people have the ability to listen to others. It is through listening that we, like people, can get to know who someone really is. When in my classroom, I hope to build lasting relationships with my students by getting to know each on of them as an individual, through focusing on listening to my students.
