Improved Essays
A belief is defined as a state or habit of mind in which trust is placed in some person or thing such as: trust or confidence. Throughout today’s society everyone beliefs are not always the same.

I believe the purposes of an education is to prepare young adults for life, work, and citizenship. However, an education place an empty mind with a more open one. In life, it is hard for African Americans as a whole, and society feel as if one do not seek an education one does not want anything positive out of life. However, in most extreme cases that is not always true. An education

These basics are the general courses such as: reading, mathematics, social studies, science, and writing. These basic courses provide a clear overview and foundation of the children’s education and what is expected to be taught at least 1-2 hours a day following an assignment and/or activity.
Children learn best in an environment that promotes learning. Features of a good learning environment are organization, colorful, and peer to peer learning. If a classroom is not organized it will become a distraction to the student, causing the student to focus more on the distraction rather than his or her work. A colorful classroom has the ability to inspire, excite, soothe, and agitate children. For example, red has the ability to energize the body and excite the mind.

Qualities I think important for teaching are patience, honesty, and enthusiasm. Patience is important because teachers are always challenged with one or more students that sometime have a hard time learning what is being taught. One has to have patience to work with that particular student one-on-one. If a teacher is not honest with themselves, how could they be honest with their students? Favoritism is still being shown in today’s classroom and it is not fair. My beliefs are, what apply to one students must apply to all students. Teacher’s enthusiasm plays an important role in student’s attention and developing student’s positive attitude towards learning. Also, enthusiasm shows excitement about teaching and the children will pick it up.
All in all, becoming a teacher is not always easy. Teachers are shaping the world today for many students. Teachers are leading, inspiring, and innovating. Being a child’s advocate and helping him or her realizer his or her own potential has to be the greatest joy that comes with

Unfortunately, my family's background consists of poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, and death.…

    According to that definition, a belief is simply something we believe in that exists. It could be a person, a value, or an idea that we hold in our minds. A belief that I considered true for the longest time was that a person is only defined and can take a part of one culture. After thinking that way for some time I have come to challenge that belief. A person should not be limited to one culture or be frightened by foreign concepts.…

Belief to me is structuring one’s own perception to seek accuracy for self understanding, but one’s beliefs system is learned. A person’s belief system is learned because for me, I would not believe in what I believe in if it wasn 't for the social and cultural environment I was raised upon.

    Alfred Townsend in his book An Introduction to Music Teaching: Artistry and Attitude details the “A, B, Cs of Attitude” and asks that the reader pick ones they feel are most important traits to have as an educator. I feel that a well-rounded successful educator is a balance of genuinely caring, being humorous as well as being professional, passionate and prepared.
