Education leads to success for all. By teaching I am giving my knowledge to others and giving them the gift of knowledge. Not only students benefit from being taught, everyone does. Through a student’s education everyone benefits. For example, an educated person might be able to make a groundbreaking discovery that benefits everyone because they have been given the gift of an education. I believe by teaching I am benefiting everyone. I am educating the youth that will one day be the leaders, doctors, teachers,etc. of this country. I believe that teaching is a type of love and a self-gift because by teaching I am devoting myself to others and giving them my knowledge that has been gifted to me by God. Through teaching I am able to help instill others with wisdom. When teaching I hope that aside from books, I am able to teach others to share their talents with others. I want to be able to teach children essential values that will help them in their everyday lives. I am sharing my talents in teaching in hopes that those I teach will share their talents with others in return. Everyone was gifted with different talents and we need to share our talents with others. I know that when teaching I will come across people, both children and parents, that will find education useless. In these times where people do not appreciate what I am doing, I will ask God for the courage to continue doing what I love. Through teaching I hope to teach to the values of life and how to interact with others which is needed in order for society to grow and flourish. Overall, I believe people around me really do need my gift of teaching because through teaching I will be leading others to be successful. I truly believe that the people around me need the gift of knowledge in order to help them flourish and achieve their

    I believe we should not let our circumstances define us and hold us down, but rather help drive us to make a greater future for ourselves and those around us. When I was a baby I was adopted by my grandparents. Due to the fact that my mother was schizophrenic, she was unable to care for me and my siblings. Although my upbringing was not traditional, I believe it not only gave me a strong sense of individuality and pride in education, but a very unique outlook on life in general. Education has been a very important part of my life from a very young age.…

After visiting the classroom a handful of times, I absolutely fell in love.…

    Why I Teach: During my senior year, the high school I attended offered its first computer class. I eagerly enrolled and learned BASIC on an Apple IIe. My first program was a game similar to Boggle's word search. I meticulously drew up my project plan, spent hours in my room at night working through the logic of my program, carefully entered my code, and, remarkably, it worked! I shared it with my classmates, who then asked me to show them how to bring their own visions to life.…

    The major I have chosen to pursue at The University of Maryland - College Park, is elementary education. I chose this major because I truly enjoy working with children and hope to help educate the future generations so they can go on to be the best learners that they could possibly be. I aspire to be a role model and not only teach my students, but learn from their experiences too. I understand that teaching is not the job choice that will pay the most, but I believe that by giving back to the community and educating the future doctors, lawyers, presidents and more, I will be paid with more then just money. By teaching, I will have the satisfaction of watching my students succeed and building meaningful relationships with them at such a crucial time in their lives.…
