Becoming A Teacher As A Nurse

I’ve always aspired to be a teacher. Growing up I wasn’t the smartest kid, and honestly my teachers weren’t very much help with that. Truly, as a struggling student I felt that when I had a bad teacher, there was no chance for me. So ever since I was young, I wanted to grow up to be that change, I didn’t want any struggling student to feel like I did.

I would like to be a teacher because I have always been the one that’s eager to make a difference, I want to be the teacher that children remember for the rest of their life even after school. The love that I have always had for children is what drew me to teaching and the love that I have for learning is where I got my passion to teach. I have been inspired by many teachers in the past who has had a positive impact on my life and these are the ones that I have viewed as a mentor, leader and even as a parent. One particular reason that I chose to pursue a career in the education field is because I believe that when teachers work individually and collectively they have the ability to improve and change the world.

Upon first entering college, I struggled deciding at such a young age what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Through babysitting and volunteering with pre-school aged children at my church and through a school program called STARS, it became evident to me I had a love for helping children. It fascinated me to see how they viewed the world around them and how quickly they learned new truths everyday. Nevertheless, I knew I would not get the full enjoyment interacting with children as a schoolteacher because the teacher to student ratio is so large. Classroom demands would make it much more difficult to devot individualized attention to each student, and I did not like that concept. So

I hope that when I am a teacher that the kids will learn from me that learning can be fun and not a task. That there is so much to learn about that you should never be bored with learning. If they leave my class room knowing about that and the curriculum needed to succeed in my particular grade and subject. Than I accomplished everything that I wanted to.

Once I am into the field of teaching I hope that I can acquire a tenure and find a school that I enjoy being at and stay at that school for a number of years. Aside from the sense of helping kids, one factor of my wanting to teach is so that I can coach athletics. I believe that sports are much like life, and by playing sports, you can learn about life and it's hardships. I want to be able to teach my students and players not only how to play a game, but how to relate the game that they are playing to a real life situation. The reason I strive to do this is that I had a coach in high school to whom I could always look up to for guidance, and many other students too, and he made me want to be a teacher and a coach. I want to be able to enjoy relationships with my former students and players once they get out of school and into the work force.

As a teacher, I want to provide protection and understanding to students so they feel free to discover and develop their skills in the classroom. I want to help students with their interest and desire to excel. The challenge for me to be a teacher involves me more than teaching is the commitment to take care of my behavior in and out of school and be a good example for

I am not one of those people that knew absolutely for sure from age five that they wanted to be a teacher. I have thought about many different professions during my educational career and have changed my mind at times in deciding the best route to take. However, teaching has always been something I knew I would enjoy doing. I would often tell my teachers in school that I would like to be an educator, but this statement usually left me with looks of shock and responses that I could achieve so much more in my life. I would find myself very confused; wondering why these people picked a profession they believed to be so unimportant and meaningless. Regardless of their objections, I have continued to want

From a young age I had a good idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up. (1) In elementary school I professed that one day I would become a doctor. At that time I had no idea what the career entailed but for some reason I have had my heart set on it ever since. I have always had the mentality for helping other people and it is a core value that I have maintained for as long as I can remember. I remember taking a career assesment during my middle school years that everyone was required to take. As everyone else wondered what their results would be, I had already known my own result. The assesment results told me that I should pursue a career in the medical field. This is something that not many people would be able to tell about

Every child at an early age has dreamed about being a teacher at one point of their childhood. I remember at six years old, I always believed that I was going to become a teacher, maybe even the best one in my six year old mindset. I would set up all my stuffed animals in a row, creating a school setting and I remember making spelling test for all my “students” across from me. After middle school that idea definitely did not come up again. Fast forwarding to now, my senior year of highschool, I realized that I wanted to become a Real Estate Agent or a Wildlife Biologist. Or maybe become a Wildlife Biologist and invest in real estate on the side. I believed that each job is very difficult but through hard work I hope I can achieve my goals

In the beginning, I wanted to become an elementary school teacher because I loved being around children. With children, I am particularly more patient and protective because I want them to feel safe. It was not until throughout middle school that I began to admire how teachers became role models for students. It was in my nature that I adored spending time with children; however, I saw that I did not have the same passion that teachers did towards education. At this point, I did not know many other career choices besides the careers I hear about the most, such as lawyers, doctors, firefighters, policemen, and more.

From the time I was in third grade, I wanted to be a teacher. I was so confident about my future career choice that I was often reminded that I was young and should explore other options as well. While I listened to the advice, my confidence never wavered. In fact, my desire to become a teacher grew stronger as I became older and gained more experience in educational settings.

As a new graduate that just completed Bachelors in Art with a concentration in Psychology, I felt it was time to move on to the next level of my education. Before, deciding on this career path, I had tried different careers. For example, my first career choice was to become a Lawyer however; I wanted to make sure that I did not waste money or time with a career that was not that interesting. Therefore, I took a couple of Paralegal classes and decide that Lawyers spend many hours on case after case. As a result, I decided that this would not be a smart choice because I have a family and I knew that I needed to balance work and family life especially since, that consist of, having a husband, two disabled boys and four girls. Because of this, I thought becoming a Special education teacher would be

“Why Teach?” Although this seems like a very complicated question, the answer to it is actually quite easy. Teachers have always been an intrical part of society, and they are the stepping stones that help students to succeed. According to a survey by Haselkorn and Harris in Those Who Can, Teach, sixty-two percent of people surveyed said the teaching profession provided the most benefits to society. This survey rated teaching first over physicians, nurses, and even lawyers. As a future teacher, I want to positively influence children's lives, impart knowledge within their lives and create a comfortable environment where they can learn.

My initial motivation to be a teacher was to make difference in students’ life and help them approaching their future as good citizens, lifelong learners, develop their skills and tools needed to achieve it. What made me continue teaching is the fact that implementing this is a little challenging despite the fact that I am enjoying it. I came to realize that it is not just the students need to have a learning curve in school, as a teacher, I need to work on my skills and tools to achieve those noble goals. It is a life-long learning!

My motivation for being a teacher comes from somewhere deep within my heart and soul. I love children. I love the look that comes across their faces when they finally grasp a concept after they have been trying to truly understand it. I had a lot of teachers that made an impact on me and I want to have the same impact on as many children as possible. My teachers installed a love of learning in me. There is no better profession than teaching for those who want to learn. One is learning just as much from their students, if not more, than what they teach. Teaching is rewarding and involves making the world a better place. That is my calling. To change the world, one person at a time, by showing love to each and every person I meet. Weather it be one of my students or one of their parents, I want to be Christ’s light just like my teachers were for me. I want to be the support system that shows each and every one of my students that they can do anything they put their mind to. Not only can they shoot for the stars, but they can shoot far beyond. After all, I was once just a kid from a small farm town that no one knows about. Now I’ve been on 4 mission trips, I travel all around, and I moved half way across the country to chase my dreams. I am here because I was impacted by my high school history teacher/ musical director, Mr. Wittig. He pushed me to chase my dreams and to follow my heart and not to let anything get in my way. I want to share what I have with every child I can,
