My Passion For Teaching

Improved Essays
Choosing a profession is a difficult task. Many aspects determine which profession is suitable for someone. Personal preferences, personality, work hours, strengths and weaknesses, and even the income of a particular job are factors that are considered. However, one element which is overlooked in today’s society is passion. Many people lack passion for what they are doing everyday, because they are focused on the secular values. Caring for people has always been a priority of mine, whether it was peers, younger siblings, or even for friends who were both older and younger than me. Teaching is much more than just test scores and regurgitating information, it is shaping a child’s future and his or her outlook on life. There are many reasons …show more content…
Passion is a necessity when considering this profession. Being able to love the students one is dealing with is also essential. The list goes on and on of qualities crucial to a successful educator. This profession gives the ability to touch the lives of the young people who will soon take over this world. They are young, innocent, and eager to learn. Captivating them from a young age is very important in my eyes because I truly believe they are the world’s most precious gift. Having someone to believe in them and encourage them is so important. I hope to give my future students the love along with education to survive in this world, just as my former teachers have for …show more content…
Without goals, nothing will be accomplished. As a teacher, I want to enlighten my students. I hope to demonstrate that life is in one’s own hands. It is through personal choices and attitudes which determine someone’s outlook on life. I hope to show that I care and support not only my students, but also fellow faculty and peers as well. I hope to establish that the definition of “success” is measured in happiness, not the amount of income of one’s salary. It is important to focus on life lessons as well as daily educational lessons. The things that the students will remember the most is how someone makes them feel. If they acquire self-confidence, they are able to accomplish anything. That mentality is a goal I hope to inculcate in my future

    “The teacher is key to student motivation. We have immense power to unleash—or diminish—a young person’s desire to learn,” says Carol Ann Tomlinson in her article, "One To Grow On /Releasing The Will To Learn.” Carol Ann Tomlinson is a successful author, a professor and also chairs the Educational Leadership, Foundation, and Policy at the Curry School of Education, University of Virginia. One of the most important aspects of motivating students, according to Tomlinson, is the student’s perception of whether they are not only seen as an individual in the classroom, but also seen as being able to succeed in the classroom.…

    Each person has his or her individual path to follow, no two paths are exactly the same; but, every now and then, paths interweave and people construct bonds with each other. In the case of Sonny and his brother, the narrator, in James Baldwin’s short story, “Sonny’s Blues”, their paths were parallel with one another until they grew up. Sonny left the slums of Harlem, aspiring to become a musician, while his brother settled in Harlem and became a teacher. Although the narrator and his brother ended up with completely different lives, the narrator being a family man with a teaching job and Sonny, an ex-convict playing jazz at a club, are ironically more similar than they are portrayed.…

    My passion for occupational therapy began when I first realized I wanted to better understand those that were not as fortunate as what society would call the norm.

    When people think of a good teacher they think of one that is nice, encouraging, trusting, and many other adjectives. Unlike most people, who change their mind on the career they want, I knew from the start that I wanted to be a teacher.

In my undergraduate program I always knew I wanted to working with children, but it was a challenge for me to choose one career path I felt my work would make a difference.

The passion of helping students with special needs is a career I love and allows me to want to continue…
