OUT-OF-CHARACTER SECTION
Minecraft IGN:
My Minecraft IGN is Mircegg1, which is my alternative account. My main is Mircegg.
Discord:
My Discord is mircegg.
Are you able to speak in VCs?:
Whenever possible, I am able to speak in VCs but if I'm not available, I'll speak as soon as I can. I enjoy meeting new people.
Age (optional):
N/A.
Time zone:
I come from Ireland, which means I am in the GMT Time zone.
Past warnings/kicks/bans?:
I always make sure to follow the rules of every server I play on. I have never received any warnings, kicks, or bans. Due to the current state of the server, I am even more cautious about following the rules as not doing so could make the server less enjoyable for me and for others, and could result in punitive measures, which I want to avoid.
List any other accounts and/or roles on the server:
I only have one other account on the server, which is my main. Its IGN is Mircegg. The only other role I have on the server is Officer.
Do you understand that inactivity will lead to a removal from the faction?:
Yes, I understand completely and it makes a lot of sense!
What subject are you applying to teach, as well as what specialty?:
I am applying to teach Physical Education. My character's specialty is Mathematics.
What is your motivation for becoming a teacher?:
My motivation for becoming a teacher stems from my interest in exploring the profession. Teaching seems like a fun and rewarding job, and it aligns with my character traits. I would like to experience what it's like to teach and see how the students respond to my teaching style. Additionally, I have developed a passion for teaching, particularly in the area of Personal Education.
Are you aware that if accepted as a teacher, you must undergo teacher training before being able to host your own classes?:
I am aware that if I get accepted, I will have to undergo teacher training before being able to host my classes. This is important because if someone without experience was allowed to host classes, they could unintentionally make mistakes or might end up doing something they should not be doing. Overall, I understand the significance of undergoing training.
What rules would you set for your class?:
If I were to establish some rules, these would be the rules set for the class.
1. No fighting.
2. No insulting each other.
3. Respect.
4. To enjoy themselves.
5. No swearing/cursing.
6. No using their phones unless it is parents/guardians/important or if it is urgent.
7. No disturbing others.
What roleplay experience do you have that could help you as a teacher?:
I have a lot of experience with roleplay, but I am not sure if it can help me become a teacher. All of my experience comes from being a high school student, so it may not be relevant. I have never roleplayed as a teacher before, but in real life, I have some experience teaching my friends about computers.
CHARACTER INFORMATION
What is your character's personality?:
My character's personality can be humorous at times, but can also be strict when necessary. Most of the time, my character is kind and amiable, unless provoked otherwise.
What does your character look like?:
Roman is a kind man who stands at 5'9" and looks younger than his actual age. He has a clear Russian accent and a deep voice that reveals his origins. Although he is mostly introverted, he will speak up when required. Teaching is his passion, and he used to teach his friends back in Russia. He was always seen as a teacher's pet, but he never minded it as he wanted to become a teacher later on in life. He was often described as a nerd, which was also due to his passion for teaching. He is rarely strict with his students.
Walking through the halls of Gavatha Academy, you notice a student bullying/harassing another student. How would you react?:
I would first inquire about the situation by asking the following question - "What's going on here?" After listening to both sides of the story, I would warn the student who was bullying and make it clear that their behavior is not acceptable. I would say, "I hope you realize that bullying is not okay. Please do not let me catch you doing it again." Finally, I would issue a detention to the student for bullying/harassment.
You see a student using contraband on Gavatha Academy grounds. How would you handle this situation?:
If I catch or see a student using contraband, I would take a picture as evidence. After that, I would approach them and ask them where they got it from, how long have they been using it, and who gave it to them. Then, I would confiscate the contraband and take it to the principal's office to report the incident. The principal would then speak to the student, and I would take the student to a detective to get more information on the matter.
You see a faculty member disobeying the Gavatha Academy Code of Conduct. What do you do?:
If I witnessed a faculty member violating the Gavatha Academy Code of Conduct, my first step would be to gather evidence in case it is needed. I would take a picture with my phone or record the incident in some other way. Then, I would approach the faculty member and ask for their perspective to get the full story. If I caught them lying, I would make a note of it. Finally, I would report the incident to the principal or someone in higher authority, providing them with the evidence I gathered.
While grading papers during your free period, you notice that one of your students is failing your class. How would you address this situation?:
If I notice a student is failing my class while grading papers during my free period, I would first ask them to speak to me after class. After they come to class, I would tell them something like, "Hey (whatever their name is), I recently saw that you're failing my class. I would recommend that you try harder. I do not want to fail you, but I will have to. Sorry, man. Just try your hardest, and maybe, just maybe, you will get better grades. I'll give you chances to get extra credit. I do not like to fail students. Don't worry!"
A student is acting out of line during your class. They are being disruptive and disrespectful to their peers. How do you handle this?:
I would first ask the student to speak with me after class to find out what is going on with them. I would say, 'Hey, I noticed you've been acting a bit unusual lately. Is there anything wrong? You can tell me, it's okay.' Once they open up to me, I would tell them, 'I'm sorry to hear that. Next time, just let me know and I won't give you detention, especially if you have a good reason. But please, behave properly next time. If it was something sad that happened, I am sorry. However, if it wasn't, you should know that this is no reason or permission to yell in my class. Sorry, but it will result in detention.'
Write 3-5 /me's of how your character would act throughout the school day. Think about actions they might do while teaching, after class, in the break room, etc:
/me The man walks up to the coffee machine and browses the different options. After finding one he likes, he inserts the money and selects his preferred coffee. He taps his finger on the table beside the coffee machine with a smile. Once his coffee is ready, he picks it up and walks to a table, where he sits down and appears happy. He takes a sip of the coffee and seems to enjoy it, putting it on the table after each sip. When he finishes the coffee, he opens the door, sighs, and begins to patrol the school.
/me The teacher would enter the room with a large smile on his face. He would walk over to where the donuts were located and choose one. He would slowly pick one, adding a dramatic effect to it. After picking it up, he would walk over to one of the tables, sit down, and relax. He would slowly take bites from the donut to add more of a dramatic effect to it. After finishing it, he would take a few minutes to relax, then sigh and walk out of the door, prepared to teach.
/me The teacher picked up a marker and announced to the class, "Alright, for those of you who have finished the assignment, we will be playing hangman. If you want to play, let's get started!" He then leaned in to the whiteboard and wrote the letters "_d___t__o_" and asked the class, "Whoever has any ideas, please raise your hand. If you think you know the word, put up your hand as well!" After finishing his sentence, he walked back to his seat and sat down.

FINAL SECTION
LOOK OF STUDENTS (150 words):
Roman sees all of his students as intelligent and athletic individuals. He likes all of his students and always makes an effort to be kind to them. He views each one of them as kind-hearted individuals, even if they make mistakes or wrong him in some way. Rather than labeling them as bad people, he suspects that something may be happening in their lives that is causing them to act out. Whenever he observes harassment or bullying, he speaks to the students involved. He believes that there is always a story behind a student's actions, even if there is no valid reason for their behavior. While he may be upset or angry, he never thinks less of them. Roman always tries to look on the bright side of things and sees his students as kind and intelligent people. When he sees his students outside of school, he greets them, as he enjoys making friends with them and being a teacher who is well-liked rather than one who is disliked.
COVER LETTER (300 words):
Dear Hiring Committee,
Hello! To whoever may be reading this, I am writing this letter to apply for the position of P.E. teacher. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for taking the time out of your day to read it. Thank you so much. Now, let me explain why I am interested in becoming a P.E. teacher. I have relevant experience and know how to handle various situations that may arise in the classroom. In my previous school, I was known for being a kind and caring teacher, and my students often spoke highly of me. Furthermore, I find teaching P.E. to be incredibly enjoyable. As an athletic person, I love sharing my knowledge and skills with others. Many of my former students have told me that I am their favorite P.E. teacher, and I always strive to make my classes fun and engaging. I also want to mention that I worked in a primary school for five years before this, and it was a very rewarding experience. At present, I am 32 years old and ready to take on a new challenge. On a lighter note, I enjoy making jokes, but I understand that not everyone may find them funny. In my previous school, some students made fun of me for my "corny" or "cringy" jokes. However, I am always looking for ways to improve and make my classes more enjoyable for my students. Thank you again for reading my letter. I hope to have the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss my qualifications further. I would also like to mention that I have been looking over the school for a really long time and have noticed three things: 1) it looks very nice and I would love to work there, 2) all the students seem nice and seem like they would love a new P.E. teacher, and 3) the school would need a new P.E. teacher since there are none as of right now.
Sincerely,
Roman Zahkarov.
