    My observation hours were spent in a kindergarten classroom at McFall Elementary in Middleville, my home town. I observed Mrs. Young’s class of twenty-five students. I enjoyed observing in this classroom since it was my former teacher and classroom when I was in kindergarten as well. While observing, I could see many different subjects being taught, and multiple ways in which they were taught. Also, it was interesting to notice the reactions the kids gave towards a certain teaching style or towards a specific activity.…

    My Passion For Mathematics

    • 2033 Words

    Since my years in middle school, I had fostered an intense passion toward Mathematics particularly, as well as other natural science disciplines in general. Therefore, it had been my anticipation since then to select a career in the realm of STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); however, which exact career was still an uncertainty. My interest varied inconsistently throughout my early years in high school, as I initially wanted to become a pharmacist, and subsequently a high school math teacher. Momentarily, I also became skeptical about my passion toward Mathematics since I was clueless about whether I enjoyed the subject simply because I excelled at it or I truly liked it. Such a doubt stuck with me for a while until my Junior year in high school when I had the…

    Beginning in 2nd grade, I always had an answer to the often agonizing question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Beginning in 2nd grade, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I have my 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Linehan, to thank for this certainty as to what I wanted my future profession to be beginning at such a young age. Mrs. Linehan was not only a creative, nurturing teacher but a teacher who expected a lot from her students and knew just how much to push each one individually and a class as a whole. She not only taught her students the “requirements” of 2nd grade, but also taught them beginning steps of other languages and everyday skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.…

That was the time period when I realised that I wanted a career in which I could be able to experience various types of professions.
