Why I Want to Be a Teacher

for high school teachers with fifteen years of experience and the minimum level of education and training required to be certified exceeded $40,000 in Denmark, Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands and exceeded $60,000 in Switzerland. In the United States, it was $35,000. With statistics like this, people wonder why anyone would want to be a teacher. Teaching is not for everyone. I personally tell people “you do not understand why people would want to teach, unless you want to teach.” With the low pay, long hours, rude kids and possibly rude parents, and office politics that would make a lawyer’s head spin, why would anyone want to teach? Well, I want to teach to see the look in the eyes of students who finally understand a tough subject, to watch a child overcome personal problems, but most of all, I want to teach to help build the next…

I have been very fortunate to grow up in a very loving and supportive home. My parents have always told me that I should never try to get a job just because it pays well, that instead I should pursue a career in something I love. From a very young age I have had a passion and a love for children and teaching. As a child I would play “school” and have my sisters sit in desks as my “students” while I taught them and gave them classwork. As I grow older I began helping tach Sunday School and…

I have a lot of family and friends that are teachers or are retired teachers. I don’t remember a conversation I’ve had in the past 10 years of which a teacher was talking positively about his or her job, that they were inspired by what was happening in his or her school, that he or she was happy most days going to work. Are you a teacher? Are you happy in your job? Do you love working with kids, but frustrated by the system you work in? Do you wish there was a way to work with young people in a…

individuals. I want to be that 'someone ' for students and I believe that teaching is the only way possible for me to do that. I want to give students not only knowledge, but also lessons that they can live by in the world outside of school. To be an effective teacher for my students, I have to teach in a way that suits their learning styles and knowing their intelligences based on Gardener 's theory can help me achieve that. Knowing this about my students guides me in choosing my methods of…

I am applying for a PGCE teacher training course because I have always had an interest in working with young people within the education sector. Through voluntary experience I have been privileged to exercise my passion for helping the future generation achieve their aspired goals and potentials, as I was fortunate to have received this support during my own educational journey. I have always had a passion for teaching ever since I was little because I used to help my younger brother with his…

their day-to-day lives. After I graduate, my goal is to become an Elementary Teacher. As a teacher I will interact with my students, other teachers, administration, and my students’ parents/guardians. I think it is also important to know how to interact appropriately in the community as a teacher, as well. Using the belief that everyone is created in the image of God while interacting with people as a teacher is very important. The two example I am going to discuss that I think are the most…

The first question many teenagers are asked at any social gathering or family party is, ‘what do you want to do when you graduate?’ For most adolescents, that question is the most dreaded part of any day. However, that stereotype doesn’t apply to me, as I had decided in the 10th grade exactly what I wanted to do in life. My future career goal is to be an English teacher for deaf students. My plan is based off of my interest in the deaf community and culture, my passion for English and love for…

become a nurse. I attended Medaille College in Buffalo, NY right after graduation . While there I knew that college was not for me plus I missed my family. So I decided to leave Buffalo and attend a trade school back home in Philadelphia. As I was attending trade school, I managed to get a part time job at a daycare. That is when I fell in love with the career of being a teacher. From there I changed my future profession from a nurse to an elementary teacher. I wanted to continue being a teacher…

As I write my last undergraduate journal many emotions run through my veins as I think about my past, present and future. The struggles over the five years I have spend educating me, Tiaira Greene to be a teacher, a special educator filled with promise of a better tomorrow. I know I can and will make a difference in that tomorrow. It brings forth shivers, warmth of passion, and that peculiar sensation of that unknown excitement that is soon to be before me. The fear of the unknown is just…

Why do I want to be a Teacher? Teachers have multiple roles in today’s society, and it is upsetting when the teachers out in classrooms do not want to be with their students. The way that teachers hold themselves in the classroom can deeply affect their education, as well as their self-worth from the time when they are in the teacher’s classroom further on, and so it is imperative that they desire to be with their students and desire to make a positive impact. This is one thing that I…
