I also wanted to be able to help as many people that I could. Being an educator and helping so many students grow and develop was the best career I could imagine. I may only have a student in my classroom for one year but I hope that those few months I can help each student as much as possible on their educational journey. I hope that my time with each student will help them develop the life skills they will need to become a great citizen not only to our town but to the world.…
I chose to pursue a teaching career for middle school because I feel that children are at that age where they are interested in everything. They want to know more than what they learned when they were in elementary school and that makes me excited for them. I remember when I was younger when I first told my parents that I wanted to become a teacher because my seventh grade math teacher had the greatest influence on me, and I remember them telling me that becoming a teacher would be a mistake because they didn’t make much money. To this very day, I believe that if you want to become a teacher it’s because you have a big heart and you’re not in it for the income but for the outcome. Hard work and determination will allow me to pay for the things that I want in life, such as my dream house, and children, vacations, cars, and more…
One would imagine their twenty-first birthday to be companied with friends and legal consumption of alcohol. I never imagined mine to be woken up by a phone call to the hospital. Being next to my mother’s side as she recovered from a successful kidney transplant was the best gift in my twenty-one years of life. My mother’s health journey is my drive to pursue nursing. I devoted to be my mother’s supporter and fighter to never let kidney disease defeat her.…
College has never been something spoken of growing up in my home. My family worked very hard but never mentioned College. I thought of college a time or two but it wasn 't until I got married and desiring children that it began to weigh on my mind. One of my dreams is for my children to get a great education and attend college but in order for my children to have such a strong desire they will have to see it displaying in me. About three years ago I started working with my husband going into public schools assisting him while he teaches teachers about their retirement.…
Every other profession started out at school, where teacher are present to strengthen their skills and knowledge that lead to their dream job. I wanted to become a teacher because I want a chance to make a positive difference in the future of young children. For me, I think teaching is a rewarding job because you get to be an inspiration and a role model in young children’s lives and help guide them to make the right choices in…
I have found solace in knowledge, developing wonderful bonds with my teachers; experiences leading me to chose a career in education. I cannot imagine my life without children, their wonder and simple amazement is astounding. It has been my dream for ten years to become someone instrumental in the development of little minds. I know children come to school with battles, and I cannot imagine a better purpose for my life than to encourage each and every child to face the day with a bright smile, courage and confidence.…
Most people change their career decisions multiple times before they actually pick a final job, but I never had an interest in anything other than being a teacher. I have always connected with younger kids over high school or middle school children, which is why I chose to major in Early Childhood Education. I believe that teachers have the ability not only change the world, but improve it. I want to become a teacher because seeing that light bulb go off and seeing the looks on the student’s faces when they get a problem is a great feeling. Many kids are ignored at home or even bullied at home and I want to make all those children feel wanted and to know that someone is there for them and truly does care about them.…
They have put upon me the importance of education in not only today’s society, but for the years to come. Researching this career made me even more excited to do something this special with my life. Even though the pay isn’t excellent and the amounts of stress can sometimes be overwhelming, I could not be happier to have found what my passion is and to do something with my life that it involves. 11 Helping students achieve success and grow in their everyday lives is one of the most, if not the most, wonderful things with which someone like myself could be blessed. The thought of knowing you are doing a good deed by leading the children you teach into a prosperous life full of knowledge is a feeling that’s rewarding and…

In the time I have been teaching I have taught across R-12, assisting primary and secondary teachers with Visual Arts and teaching primary drama classes.

All of my life, I have loved to nurture individuals younger than myself. Growing up, with my best friends and brother, all whom were much younger than myself, I would beg them to play school so I could pretend to be a teacher. Begrudgingly, they would indulge me in my wish for a short while until they realized I wanted to make them do actual math problems. Since then, the joy for imparting knowledge on others has never diminished, but has intensified as I have matured into a young adult. I believe that a great teacher can help mold a generation.…
Career and College Research Paper “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teachers explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires” (“A Quote by William Arthur Ward”). I believe strongly that a teacher can change the life of her or his students.…
Becoming a teacher has always been something I’ve kept in mind for a career choice because teaching will always be necessary, and teaching is something I feel I would enjoy doing. My parents have always instilled the importance of having an education. School always came first. As I grew up I realized how crucial an education was in order to…
Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher. I enjoyed playing school with my younger brother because I was always the teacher. I also enjoyed being an assistant teacher at my dance studio. From a young age, I was involved with teaching, but specifically interactions with younger children. I thrive in environments where I can interact and help others.…
Becoming an educator is one the noblest professions an individual can go into. A teacher can have a powerful impact in a student’s live, both positive and negative. Teaching is one of the few careers that directly affect the future of our nation, and though this may be considered a cliché, the truth of the matter is that you may have a larger impact on children’s lives than some of their parents. You spend hours upon hours with your students, whereas busy or career-driven parents may not have the same opportunities. Becoming an educator is conducive to your home or family life, allows you to see the potential in students, and perhaps most notably, provides the opportunity for you to essentially mold lives within one short calendar year.…
During our principalship course, we had a very passionate discussion about how some of our colleagues perceive teachers that go through Teach for America or any alternative certification process for that matter. Some of my colleagues appear to be very bias in terms of qualifications and commitment of these particular teachers. I would have to respectfully disagree with them and perhaps I may as well be bias due to the route I chose to take to become an educator. Ten years ago, I chose to make the biggest decision in my life and that was to become a teacher. And the way I went about obtaining my certification at that time was through an alternative certification program offered by Rockford University.…
