Brené Brown is vulnerability researcher, storyteller. She explained that vulnerability related to fear, shame, something that we try to hide and don’t let everyone to see it. However, she said that it is important to let yourself be seen by others, especially in a connection or relationship. She also emphasises that vulnerability can be the source of creativity, love and sense belonging. I think this is a beautiful thought and a new perspective of vulnerability that I have ever known. At the closing of her speech, she mentioned that accepting that you are imperfect make you grateful and enjoy this life. Her explanation widens my understanding that vulnerability also has a positive side in people life, and I am not the one in this big world who have shame or fear.
Remembering my old days, when I was an internship teacher. I was asked to teach Physics for grade 12 in a secondary school by a senior teacher because she could not attend the class. I had a free schedule, so I decided to help her. We tried to solve a Physics problem about electricity circuit, but in the middle of the discussion, I was stuck. I could not answer the question, and my heart beat faster, and I worried so much. I took a deep breath and tell my students that I forgot the steps to solve this problem and promise them that I will let them know the next day. Showing my less competence in solving a physics question in front of the class is ashame but this experience made me promise to myself that next time I have to study diligently, so I can perform better and confidently when discussing Physics problem. This short story makes me realise that we can learn from our vulnerability and transform it to be a potential strength in the next teacing practice.
