My Philosophy Of Teaching Is A Career As A Teacher

Great Essays
In life I have always been the person to put money in the little red bucket outside of Walmart so someone could have a better holiday, buy the toys as well as food and put them in the bin in any store I went in so they could play and eat. I have always been the girl who wanted to do more, and to help more. I knew no matter what I did when I grew up that I was going to impact a lot of people’s lives, and I was going to work with children. It wasn’t until a week before my senior year in high school I sat down with my guidance consoler talking about which classes I needed to take, and what I was going to major in, that is when I decided I was going to be a teacher. Teaching isn’t for everyone and that’s okay, but I know it is right for me. It’s …show more content…
I have always loved children. I tend to form very nice relationships with children, but my decision to become a teacher is so much more than that. I want to give every child in this world equal opportunity. In some situations school is the only time children feel safe, and have a full meal. I want to be that role model that they remember ten years because I left that impact in their life. Teaching isn’t a profession you go into for the money or because it’s just a job.

I want to be able to build my students to the point where they feel content with their ideas; LeoNora M. Cohen says, “In idealism, the aim of education is to discover and develop each individual 's abilities and full moral excellence in order to better serve society.”(Cohen) The ideas and thought going on in such young brains is going to go beyond the classroom and those walls.

    I grew up in an upper-middle class, white, Catholic family, in the middle of suburban Cary, North Carolina. Culture was a term introduced in school with pictures of exotic places and bright wardrobes; history lived inside textbooks with stories of war and migration. My fourth grade family history project contained one piece of information: my great-grandmother sailed to the States from Italy in 1904. The little history and culture introduced by my family showed me who I do not want to become. While the teachings of Christianity shaped me into a compassionate, open-hearted person, I struggle to accept the dogma that followed it.…
