Becoming A Teacher, First Requires The Right Person

Changing to the health care industry was a difficult decision, but one that I am glad I made. As budget decreases continued to happen I found I was no longer able to provide my students with the amount of care and individual attention that they deserved and required. Knowing I no longer was able to teach to the level I desired I decided to look at different career possibilities. Health care had always interested me and I decided to go back to school for nursing. It took me one clinical rotation as a certified

I had no idea what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life. All my friends knew exactly what they wanted to be nurse, cop, mechanic, firefighter, and even a surgeon. But me, no I was so baffled on so many choices that I could not make up my mind. Due to me loving to help others I strongly considered being a Nurse so I could help elderly,

Picking a career is a big decision, and for most people it changes many times before one actually sticks. It was no different for me. When I was younger, I loved animals and therefore was determined for a while that I should be a veterinarian. That only stuck for a few years before I moved on from my animal phase and decided I wanted to be a pharmacist. Once again, after a few years I realised that the job really did not fit me all that well, and I better find something new.

My whole childhood I always dreamed about being a teacher. During school breaks, weekends, and summers, I would set up a “classroom” in my basement and my friends and I would play school. I would be the teacher most of the time. It takes a very special person to be a teacher, not everyone is teacher material. You have to be very patient, kind, and caring of all students you work with and encounter through your day and year.

Teachers have the power to change the world and to make a difference in the student's life. Teacher is a facilitator of knowledge, motivator, advisor and a positive person that can improve the student's education. I decided to pursue the career of education because I have the desire to help others. I also have the ambition to provide encouragement and support to the people that need it. Becoming a teacher means more than sharing my knowledge to the students. It is a commitment with society to shape the performance and learning of future generations.

I thought long and hard about what field of health care I wanted to go into. I found pharmacy a perfect fit because there are so many options for where one could be a pharmacist. I want a large family so I would like a job with set and regulated hours. At a hospital that is not always possible.

There are so many careers to choose from in the world. I have changed my mind about my career and lifestyle so many times. It was hard to find a career suitable to me, but I found one that sparks my interests. Obstetricians work with pregnancy, labor and delivery of women. This career is something I would aspire in doing and fits my lifestyle.

I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older and looked at many choices in careers I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body along with other great opportunities that nurses have in this career. I want to become a nurse because I like being able to help those who are in need.

Ideally, when I graduate, I would like to enter the credential program at Cal Poly Pomona. As an English Education major, I feel like this is the next logical step for me as I seek to move forward on my path of becoming a teacher. The opportunities that await me in the credential program truly excite me because I have always found my studies of English Education to be very rewarding and purposeful. I have found this to be especially true now because I am currently in the process of conducting observation hours at local high schools in Pomona as part of my English Education curriculum. When I am in the classroom, I immediately feel a sense of joy, purpose, and productivity. Outside of the classroom, I do have experience teaching as a leader for a club on campus; I am a Woman’s Bible Study Leader for Cal Poly Cru and I have found this experience of teaching college students to be the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. It can become overwhelming as doubts and deadlines tend to sneak in on me from time to time, but I know that being a teacher is worth every ounce of pressure because of the positive impact that a teacher has the ability to make on a student. There is an incredible statistic that states that “On average a teacher affects 3,000 children over the course of their career” (Bickley). This opportunity stirs my heart like nothing else because when I was in high school, I had an incredible teacher named

Choosing OT was not a quick or easy decision for me. My first job was teaching swimming lessons to kids at a local fitness facility and I knew after working there for several years that I wanted to work with children in some way. My degree in psychology steered me toward the work of Child Life Specialists, who would comfort and help in-patient children and their families at hospitals. Wanting to find out more about the career, I signed up for a

The career I have chosen to pursue is a Secondary School Teacher. It is a challenging and creative career to have and is a career that helps “prepare students for life after graduation. They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market” (“Bureau of Labor Statistics”). To me preparing students for the future is a huge responsibility, that I would be willing to take on. Not only is it a high school teacher’s job to help a student learn and understand important high school subjects, like math, science, english, or whatever else, but it is their job to help shape the minds of the the world’s next generation of passionate and promising young adults.

When schools are looking to hire a teacher, there are a few basic requirements that they are looking for: A College degree, experience working with children, and, of course, patience. Teachers need a variety of professional development skills along with knowledge of their subject matter and experience in order to be an effective teacher.

As an individual I had switch the choice of my future career from childhood to this day. At first I had only based it on what I was good at and what people would like to see me do. These choices were for example, math teacher,

Throughout the semester I actively participated in all multiliteracy circles. I took on all roles throughout the course however, one thing that I found about the roles was that our group really didn’t need to have specific roles. Our group was so engaged that we all took on roles that needed to be done throughout the conversation. It helped that we all came fully prepared to have an active discussion with my group each day.
