"Don't wait until everything
is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges,
obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each
step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more
and more self-confident and more and more successful.''
Being self-directed means having a set
of goals which is a bridge to become a successful individual. A person who is
self-directed never easily gives up until he/she reached their desired goals.
Therefore, it is important to develop self-directed learners in order for the
students to focus on what they really want in their life. And students will be
able to assess or evaluate their own learning if they do the right thing. They
will become independent on how to deal with certain situation because they are
determined to do things which benefited them. Self-directed learners can do
things better and faster than other because of their desired goals.

As a future educator, I will help my students
by inspiring them like sharing an example on the advantages of being
self-directed. I will tell my students that being self-directed helps them to
become more mature in making wise decision because they will be able to manage
what is the right thing to do in order to achieve their aims in life. I will
motivate them every day not to give up easily and to focus on things that is
useful for their own good in order for them to avoid failures in their high
school life. I will see to it that they will put their goals into reality.
The student-support materials that I can
provide to my students to help them become self-directed is that I will give
them an activity that will make them to set some goals and to think of better
ways or strategies on how to finish their activity correctly. With that, they
will also develop being collaborative with other members.
