gradated from the University of Asmara in 2006, back then he was a young 21
years old young man that had had just finally met his own life time
expectation: being a recognized graduate in biology. But that is not exactly
how Mr. Samsom Kifle-Tsion gained his fame among many students of different
colleges around the country. Now one of the youngest and most respected
teachers has always been loved for the study methods he offered to his
students.
Q:-How does your scholar background generally look like?
I would never know why but my mother had me studying my ABCs in kindergarten
ever since I was so very young. Though I think it paid off by letting me
graduate earlier that the guys of my age, it was quite hard when I got to
junior school. I think sometimes the pressure of being the youngest of the
class was taking the best of me. I had always my eyes, heart and soul wide
open when it comes to biology; I was good at it and it helped me to get my
average higher in addition to this my teachers where phenomenal teachers,
they caught my attention and drowned me in loving the subject, matter of
fact I graduated from the department of biology.
Q:-How did you become a teacher?
That was out of my mother's expectation what so ever, she wanted me to be
some sort of a successful doctor or something like it; but I believe I was
born to be a teacher.
Q:-How so?
Even though many of my neighbors jokingly looked dawn on me thinking of me
as a little smart pants kid; I remember how I would jump in joy when they
would ask for my help. I was and still am good when it comes to explaining
my thoughts.
Q:-Is teaching all about explaining?
Not all about explaining, but explaining alone has a great importance when
it comes to teaching. One can be as smart as one can possibly be but what
would his knowledge be if he doesn't know how to deliver his knowledge to
the students? . That is what matters the most: being able to deliver.
Q:-Does your age influence your position as a teacher?
Well, you are right. Many college students happen to be not young, and now
days one doesn't need to blow many candles to be "old", seems to be that
children are being born with such wisdom! So when I get in class I don't
happen to face many problems because the students are smart and mature
enough to know their task as students and they are indeed eager to learn so
they follow me with such of a great passion. Sometimes if some communication
problems accure between my students and I. I usually tend to be in their
shoes and talking to them gets to be a lot more easier because we have only
few years of difference. But unfortunately am getting old and it won't be
always this way will it? At first I was the one intimidated by the fact that
I was very young, I felt like maybe I was out of place. but I overcame that
now because I am now much older that when I first started out as a teacher.
Q:-K.F.R. what does it mean?
Is the key word I had always on my copybooks as a student and now-a-days is
the word I write on the board of every class I attend, it is the short for
KNOWLEDGE REDUCES FEAR: I believe so. The more one gains knowledge the more
confident he gets: confident in his self, in his carrier, in his life and
even his future. My motto through all of my life was the phrase right here.
I know it for myself so I love it when I get to share it with my students.
Q:-Knowledge does certainly reduce ones fears and self-doubts. But I heard
that a lot of students rush to you to get some recipes on easy and dynamic
studying methods.
That is true, I believe that it's hard to set one method and tell all of the
students to follow the same pattern. We human beings function so differently
so I don't see why we should give fixed means. What I try to do is spend
some time with each student and see one's strongest and weakest points and
based on so together we discuss ways through which the student can find
success and for what's worth better marks.
Q:-What about the books you wrote?
I wrote and published two books so far hoping that they could be used to
ease up the study of science and specifically biology. Because let's face
the truth not many students are big fans of biology. They are entitled
"Check Up Biology" and "How To Teach Science". I know in the second one I
generally present my teaching manners of science, but I figured if students
could feel as is teaching themselves rather than following a teacher's
orders would be physiologically easier for them. And as I expected many of
my students liked the second one.
Q:-Any future plans teacher?
There is another book for my students on the way, but it may take some time
so I don't want to rush and talk about it hastily.
Q:-Well good luck and thanks for your time.
Pleasure is all mine!
