Why I Chose Education

Improved Essays
Why would I want to teach? It started back in Kindergarten when I started school myself. I was fascinated with becoming just like my teacher. Little did I know back then that my desire to be like her would actually become a desire I would follow. As I grew older and learned more about becoming an educator, three items caught my eye and mind: teacher’s job benefits, making a difference and how passionate they become. As I grew up, I started to ask my teachers what benefits they got from being one; the answer I received the most was vacation. During my years in primary and secondary education, I always looked towards my days off but I didn’t realize teachers did too. The vacation time off has always caught my eye because it would give me the time to be with my family. Once I become settled into the way of being a teacher, I want to start my own family with someone I love. The vacation time would give me certain days I know I could spend with them. Holidays also tie in with this. Who wouldn’t want some extra holidays …show more content…
This passion I have is like no other. I get extremely excited to share my knowledge with them. To gain this knowledge, I am throwing myself into all my classes. It is true that I needed to motivate myself again but now I am even more excited. The challenges I am sure to run into in my career thrill me as well. I can’t wait to see how I will deal with them as they come. It makes me energized and impatient for the future. Though being motivated through my passion and future challenges, I also want to love these future students as much as my teachers loved me. I know without the love they had for me, they wouldn’t have done half the things they did. I knew I could count on them if anything aroused. To be able to love my students is something I know will come easy to me and I hope to use the love I have for them to get them motivated about English as much as I am. It will help me reach my

    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.…

    The idea that “a teacher affects eternity” presented by Henry Adams is a powerful one that has always made me stop and pause. Coming from a family of teachers, I have always had much respect for the profession and admired my relatives who have given countless hours, wisdom, and love to their students. I have been fortunate to witness firsthand the idea that Adams has put forth, as I have seen my mom and other relatives truly impact their now adult students. Because of this inspiration, I have decided to pursue teaching and want to better understand the education I will need to become one and what life looks like as a teacher. To understand what the life of a teacher is like, I will gain information about education, day-to-day interaction, and…
