I Want to Be a Teacher Essay

When I was younger, I wanted to be a teacher, but then it started changing as I grew older from a singer to a pharmacist and now back to a teacher. Throughout high school, most of my volunteer work dealt with teaching children how to swim or being a Sunday school teacher. While looking at my volunteer work on my college application, I realized…

When I was young, I went through all the career choices kids usually have: doctor, princess, etc. It wasn’t until about eight grade that my career choices became practical. I have switched between a number of different jobs since. Sometimes, I would only want a job for a couple of weeks then I would switch. Sometimes I would come back to the same job after eight months of wanting a new one. As of now, there are two jobs I think would be a good career choice for myself: biology teacher and…

It is a step that has to be made after high school and sometimes it doesn’t come easy to everyone.

curiosity. I did not come to the realization until I was much older in life and had two children of my own that being a teacher was where I was the happiest. That being a teacher was without a doubt my calling. I like many, on this same path, have been asked: “are you sure you want to do this” or “you know you do not make a lot of money”.

I have lived in Teaneck, New Jersey all my life. I’ve been surrounded by many of the same people for the past 18 years. The people who know me well would describe me as kind and creative. The first thing the people who don't know me well would say that I am quiet. That is not who I am or who I want to be remembered as. I think of myself as kind, open minded, and intelligent.
