Mona Lisa Smile

            Mona Lisa Smile was the third movie that Dr. Jaya had us watched. This movie is about a female teacher who gets to go to teach in an all-girl school. While she was there, she faced a lot of difficulties not only with the students but also with other people around her.

            For me, this movie is quite dull. It is not as interesting as the previous movies that we watched during Dr. Jaya’s class but still it still have a few points that can be useful to us as a future teacher. One of them is how a teacher can be the agent of change. In the movie, we can see how Katherine tried to change her students view on women’s role in the society. As a teacher, we need to have the ability to change our students into a better person.

            For me, this movie taught me how determination can overcome the problems that we have to face. In the movie, we can see how Katherine is determined to change her students. Even though, she faced a lot of difficulties, but because of her determination, she managed to touch the heart of her students.

            It is hard for me to find my previous teachers that had the same qualities of Katherine just like in the movie. This is because all of them are great teachers which change my life to become a better person. I will never forget about how they change me into a better person and I will do the same for my students in the future.
