I am 37 years old and graduated from Shanghai Physical Education Normal School in 1991. I have been working as a physical education teacher and team counselor for a long time. I like to deal with children and have been rated as "a good teacher in the eyes of students" many times. It has been my best wish for many years to become a qualified and noble spiritual guide for students, a helper to solve confusion, and a true friend of children. 1. Self-Growth Analysis (1) A Beautiful and Innocent Childhood Since my parents were busy, especially my father, I left them six months after I was born and grew up in my grandmother’s house in the countryside until I entered the kindergarten class. The simple rural life in the small mountain village surrounded by mountains and rivers left a deep impression on me. My father was very capable. All the clothes and shoes of our three siblings were made by my father. He could also make the kites and lanterns we played with. When I was a child, I was carefree. (2) The transitional period of adolescence. Because I stayed in the countryside for a long time, I spoke with a pure Nanjing local accent and attended a senior class for a year. Since my birth month was a few days younger, there were more students in this class across the country. I was strictly controlled outside the normal enrollment period and stayed at my grandmother’s house in the countryside for another year. At this time, I was wild-minded and playful, and spoke pure Nanjing local dialect. The Shanghai Chinese teacher who taught me in the first grade of elementary school made me It was very troublesome. I was often punished and had to correct a word repeatedly, which made me very disgusted with learning Chinese classes, let alone writing essays. The primary school life in the first to fourth grade was spent in ignorance. Although my grades were not very good and I often got into trouble, I was very happy. When I was in fifth grade, my father was named an activist of Shanghai’s “Five Lectures and Four Beauties” and was praised by others everywhere. Standing next to my father, I was filled with honor and admired him all the more. What a great father. He does everything at home (of course my mother also takes part), respects the elderly, and has outstanding achievements in the workplace. He is rated as an advanced worker and an outstanding party member every year. Looking at my father’s stack of award certificates, I am filled with emotion. I am a daughter who always worries my father. I want to compete with my father and be a daughter who makes my father proud. When I got to middle school, I worked hard and won my first certificate as a "good boy who imitates Lei Feng". That day, I was so excited. On the way home from school, I danced and sang songs at the same time. Dad came back very late, so I waited until midnight. When I heard Dad came back in a daze, I suddenly became energetic. , eagerly handed the certificate to my father. Dad was actually very tired, with a tired face. Seeing me not sleeping, he was about to say something. When he saw the certificate in his hand, he said softly, "Daughter That's not bad, go to bed quickly." The simple words of concern made me feel very warm. I began to actively work hard to get praise from my father. Every time I won an award, I was always the first to tell my father, including now, when I get the honor. , I was also the first to call my father. I continued to make progress in the three years of junior high school, and my academic performance ranked among the top 10 in the class. I applied for the Shanghai Physical Education Normal School and became a middle school teacher student. (3) Ordinary but Surprising Secondary School Teacher After three years in the Secondary School, I worked harder and harder. Although I was not familiar with the place in Shanghai, my positive ambition was recognized by the Shanghai class teacher and I served as the Youth League branch of the class. Secretary, in charge of the economic power of the class, was rated as one of the top three students every year and received a scholarship. (4) Self-change: I graduated with honors in my three years at the secondary school. Because of my strong affection for my parents, although my teachers in Shanghai approved of me and wanted to stay in Shanghai, I resolutely chose Meishan, the place where I was raised and born. In the first few years, because I had just entered the workplace, I had a careless personality, lacked in-depth thinking, and was very enthusiastic about doing things, but the results were not obvious. I also suffered a lot of setbacks, and my self-confidence was greatly reduced for a period of time. , a sense of inferiority pervades the whole body and mind, the person is particularly tired, sleeps very little at night, and becomes more impetuous when encountering problems.

I really wanted to go back to my parents at this time. In order not to burden them, I worked hard, but I sighed inadvertently a few times, which still made my attentive father see the clues. After talking with my father, I realized The problems I had were that I wanted to do well but was too ambitious, unrealistic, and unplanned... After that, I checked the information online and went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy the first batch of books on mental health. Carnegie's "Human Shortcomings" became The first book I came into contact with in the field of psychology. From this book, I saw the experiences of people who experienced setbacks like me. I no longer felt lonely. Their experiences were normal experiences of people transitioning from immaturity to maturity. I no longer feel lost. I tried some good experience methods in the book and achieved obvious results. The feeling of success so far inspired my self-confidence. During this transformation process, I felt the benefits of mental health to me. The transformation I have experienced means that if I want to be a good teacher that students like, I must first be healthy so that I can bring out healthy and lively students. So, I said to myself: "You can do it, you have to become cheerful and confident, and become an attractive person." Because of my confidence, I no longer shrink back. In teaching, I often prepare a large amount of materials, and the fresh and exciting cases in physical education classes make me comfortable in class. After work, I no longer close myself off, try to actively communicate with others, actively participate in the activities of colleagues, and strive for every opportunity to express my opinions. Changes happened inadvertently. Standing in front of the podium, I became confident and generous due to careful preparation. Later, I could talk endlessly without a speech script. The chance of getting angry with students became smaller and smaller, and I became the favorite target of children. Gained the trust of children and learned to be teasing, humorous and modest in dealing with colleagues. In these 18 years, I have learned to be cheerful and confident, and to take the initiative to deal with people. My papers and open classes have won many provincial and municipal awards, and I have been named "Good Teacher in the Eyes of Students" four times and won the "Sports Education Award" in Meishan District. "Discipline Leader", "Hundred Flowers Award" and other honorary titles; in 2008, I was also awarded the Outstanding Educator of Yuhua District. 2. Analysis of professional behavior (1) Becoming a mental health teacher is my life ideal and professional requirement. Through the analysis of my life process, I have personally felt how important a good and healthy mentality is. A healthy psychology is the key to life. Prerequisites for success. The profession of mental health teacher is a noble profession that allows me to mature my thoughts, become mentally healthy, and improve my personality. At the same time, it is also a profession that gives people roses and leaves lingering fragrance in my hands. It is my inner desire to become a qualified and noble psychological counselor. Teaching and educating people are two things. To teach well, you must also educate good people. Teaching is a profession that deals with people, and troubles will surround every student. In many students, I seem to see myself who was timid and timid many years ago. If someone could help me at that time, maybe today I will Go further. After I came into contact with the work of psychological counseling, I quickly fell in love with this profession, fell into it and enjoyed it, because while helping others solve problems, it was also a process of self-examination, and I would inadvertently apply it to In your own family and career, look at the people and things around you in another way. (2) Advantages and Disadvantages of Becoming a Psychological Counselor Advantages: 1. I particularly like children and education. This deep-rooted thing will always strengthen my belief in engaging in psychological counseling. 2. My growth experience is like a mirror. By analyzing the successes and failures of my student days, I can extract rich and valuable experience from it. Shortcomings: With the in-depth development of mental health education work in schools and my own psychological counseling practice, I have become more and more aware of my own shortcomings. 1. I have always been sensitive, unconfident, and conservative in my personality, which makes me a little flustered when faced with some difficult and difficult-to-handle problems, and I am unable to maintain the calmness that a counselor should have. 2. Theoretical knowledge and professional skills still have certain shortcomings, and some psychological problems cannot be successfully solved by the seekers. 3. Although I have had losses and setbacks in my life, overall, my growth has been relatively smooth. The experience from school to school made my social circle very narrow, my social network was not wide, and I did not have too much contact with all kinds of people in society. These were all major flaws in my consulting work. 4. Some hardware conditions for the profession of psychological counselors still need to be improved, especially the lack of relatively complete various psychological test scales and related software. (3) Direction of Effort: Learning can enable us to understand our predecessors and others, understand the past and future, care for and reflect on ourselves, and thus gain new creation. Therefore, I think we must achieve "three studies": (1) Study persistently. They will continue to learn theoretical knowledge and counseling skills, pay attention to the study of students' mental health, overcome some weaknesses in their own character, accept help seekers unconditionally, and be able to reasonably treat setbacks in the counseling process. Strive to establish the concept of lifelong learning among students. (2) Multi-channel geoscience. To be a dedicated person in learning, study in books, learn political and ideological theories, educational and teaching theories and various professional knowledge, and enhance your own theoretical accumulation; you must also study in the "wordless place", learn from other people's noble teacher ethics, and enrich teaching experience to achieve the purpose of learning from each other's strengths and strengthening online learning. Nowadays, computers have been widely used, and more advanced psychological counseling education concepts can be learned through education networks and sports networks.

Let yourself be unique in this field, thereby contributing to society and adding color to your life. (3) Study extensively. Psychological counseling is both science and art. The scientific truth is not difficult to understand, but it is not easy to apply counseling techniques to each client individually, especially if you want to master the skills of psychological counseling well, carry out work creatively, and effectively There is no shortcut to help clients solve their problems. I can only read a wide range of useful books and learn knowledge and skills in various fields, especially modern information technology, to constantly build and enrich my mental health knowledge structure. , while comprehending, gradually improving and perfecting. In short, facing the new situation, I always remind myself to pursue excellence, advocate first-class, reject mediocrity, focus on my own innovative spirit and practical ability, and dedicate all my knowledge, talent and love to students, dedication To education. I will continue to work hard to attract students and impress parents with my true love, sincere heart, and personalized classroom teaching style. To care about your children, you must truly care from the bottom of your heart, and you cannot just do superficial things. I treat every child I teach equally and treat each of them equally. Only by truly loving these children can they truly love you. I plan myself to make my work orderly and efficient; if I succeed my students, I will also succeed myself.
