In the last few years, after undertaking a volunteering placement with the Riding Disability
2 Association it has made me aware that I want to take on a career path in teaching. I want to
3 be able to inspire younger generations throughout my time teaching.

5 I am a passionate, hardworking, caring team player who is always willing to take on new tasks
6 and learn from new experiences. Whilst studying I have held down two part time jobs and also
7 volunteer at a local primary school every week. I read with year 2 pupils and this has made me
8 realise how children take in information differently and at different rates and I want to be
9 able to influence the way in which children learn in the future. …show more content…
Working with this age group is becoming a
13 greater passion and one I want to progress. Furthermore, volunteering in a school has gained
14 me many skills which includes adapting to how I motivate certain children, being able to
15 engage efficiently with challenging behaviour and using my creativity after a child has read
16 to make sure they understood what they were reading. Additionally, whilst working in the
17 school I have particularly enjoyed helping my brother at home who suffers with his vision and
18 struggles to read and write. I have found that he enjoys the practical side of learning more
19 and I have adapted my teaching style to help him. One example, of this is by using his
20 favourite toys as a teaching aid for mathematics.

22 Other volunteering I have done includes working with the Riding Disability Association at a
23 local stables. We work with disabled children improving not only their balance but confidence

I feel learning these skills
35 will allow me to create resources for the children in class to use and I will be able to show
36 them a range of skills on the computer that I have learnt.
37 Furthermore,I know teaching is going to be a challenging career and one that is going to be
38 really hard work to achieve but I am not scared of hard work.My school day at the moment
39 involves a 2hr commute whilst also staying a lot after school to help with open days and
40 performances.I know this will have to continue once becoming a teacher as being a teacher is
41 not just about teaching but helping the school community.As well as my education work I also
42 hold down two part time jobs which are both very physical.The kennel work involves early
43 mornings before school and my waitressing means that I often always work late too.Combining
44 all three with the volunteering shows that I can not only work hard but also manage my time
45 responsibly.To conclude, I want this course to help build my confidence as a teacher as I know
46 it will allow me to grow and change as a person whilst guiding children on their journey
