OUR AIMThe aim of this survey was to get to know how our school’s teachers used to feel about certain things at a certain

age. We questioned all of our teachers and here are the

asnwers of 12.Let’s take a look!

1. WHAT IS THE MOST MEMORABLE DAY OF YOUR

LIFE? WHAT HAPPENED? HOW DID YOU FEEL?Most of the teachers to this

question answered that the most memorable day in their life was when their child was born. Also some of them said that it also

was their wedding day. The emotions were very similar : excited, blessed and of course –

HAPPY.

2. WHAT WERE YOUR DREAMS WHEN YOU WERE

A TEENAGER?

Different people – different dreams. But it’s nots surprising that all of them answered that they wanted to do something with teaching. So we can say that dreams do come

true – all of them are teachers today.

3. WHAT SEEMED IMPOSSBLE AT FIRST BUT

TURNED OUT TO BE POSSIBLE AFTER?

The answers were really different : some of them thought that

getting into a university was impossible, others thought that

they will never learn how to use a computer or drive a car. But all of them said that if you are willing to do something – you are going to

succeed.

4. WHAT WAS THE MOST APPRECIATED BEHAVIOR IN

YOUR TEEN-AGE YEARS?

A lot of characteristics were mentioned. Such as : diligence,

friendliness, good learning, realibity, leadership and so on.

5. WHEN DID YOU FEEL PROUD OF YOURSELF?

To this question there were two types of answers. Finishing a

university and changing something in their lives. That

is when they felt proud of themselves.

6. HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT ‘WHAT TO TAKE CARE AND TRY

HARD FOR’ BY TIME?The common answer was ‘no’.

They all think that the things you have to ‘take care of and

try hard for’ are family, health, your own happiness

and job.

7. HAVE YOU DONE ANY COMMUNITY WORK OR

WORKED FOR A CHARITY OR PARTICIPATED IN A SOCIAL PROJECT AS A

VOLUNTEER?

Unfortunately only few of the teachers volunteered in a charity or a community work. But they all

as one said that it was a great experience and it made a change on their views on certain things.

8. WHICH IDOLS OR CELEBRITIES WOULD YOU CALL UNDERSTANDING, TOLERANT, HELPFUL OR

BRAVE?

All of the mentioned people are lithuanians. Take a look!

9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE/POEM OR SONG?

10.WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING TO KEEP AND STAY

HEALTHY?

Most of the teachers try to eat healthy food, some of them do

sports and one male teacher has been jogging every morning for five years now. I think we have

pretty youthful teachers!

11. WHAT CAN MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

FOR HUMANS AND ANIMALS? WHAT SHOULD

WE DO?Everyone as one said that we should start from ourselves. We should respect each other with

respect, be polite and don’t pollute the environment!
