Being An English Teacher

You might ask, “Why would you even want to be a teacher?” Well, I surveyed a current teacher and was genuinely pleased with the responses that I received. I asked her what the main reason was on why she chose to pursue teaching, and she responded that she likes being a role

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.

My life has been influenced greatly by teachers. Since I was a child, teaching is all I wanted to do. My mother is a fifth grade teacher. I have quite a few friends that are teachers. I have been fortunate to be influenced by some great teachers throughout my academic career. I love to be around kids and I like participating in the process of learning. I appreciate learning even today. I enjoy the learning process and hope to one day influence students in the future. I hope to one day become a high school social studies teacher. I enjoy history and geography, and I especially love politics and discussing current events. I like class discussions and letting different opinions express themselves.

If I had the ability to not worry about how much I bring home a week, and the ability to have any job in the world knowing my kids would get fed and they could get what they desire, I would be a teacher. Teaching isn’t a bad job but I want more of a safe guard when it comes to money and my job. I don’t know how much longer they plan to keep teachers around with technology growing. However I have always wanted to teach because of three major reasons. First would be that I would want to help our younger kids grow to be smarter than myself and my generation. Secondly I would like to help the students build their community, inside the classroom and outside in the real world. Lastly I also want to be involved in school sports. It would be a time consuming life however I believe it’s worth the time and effort.

For me, the decision to become a teacher is more of a way of life than a career. I have always loved school, practicing at being school marm from a young age, and voraciously devouring every shred of education offered me in my career as a student. If it were possible, I would be a student for the rest of my life. And then I still would not have learned enough. As a teacher, I hope to instill this appetite for knowledge in secondary students. They are, after all, the future leaders of the world, and what better place to expand the minds of the generations to come than here in Appalachia where education programs, especially the sciences, which I plan to teach, are poorly funded and children’s dreams

Being an elementary school teacher has always been my dream. English is not my mother-tongue, so getting along with other children, communicating with teachers, and learning the material was difficult at first. Mrs. DeZwaan, my English Second Language teacher from first grade to third grade, helped me to learn the English language quickly and efficiently. Since then on, my dream was to become a teacher like her-- one who can easily communicate with the student and can make learning fun and enjoyable. In my

Teaching is the greatest profession in the world! I discovered I wanted to be a teacher while working as a Speech Assistant in the public schools. It is amazing to watch students learn. I adore the feeling of energy that comes from kids. Teaching helps build a positive future for everyone, and I love being a part of it.

Teachers positively affect young minds. One of the greatest achievements a teacher can experience is watching all students, including Enlgish Language Learners, expand their knowledge to their full potential. I want to become a teacher because I want to make a positive impact on a person’s life. Once, I obtain my own classroom, I know that not all students will know how to speak English, therefore as a teacher I plan on using various tips and methods in order to teach them English.

As I think of my career, one thing comes to mind is improving the education system in the classroom setting. I plan to get certified to teach secondary education or more specifically the subject of English. My career will begin at the high school, I plan to teach High School English for at least five years. During these years, I hope to continue my own education to receive my master’s degree that way I can better improve my abilities. In doing this I can also improve my teaching abilities, thus helping my students’ education experience.

I have always felt drawn to English and have made strong connections with my English teachers. It was the love for the subject and the respect for those who taught it that led me to become an English Education major. Through my journey I have been exposed to strong pedagogy focused on social justice and have had opportunities to develop the skills necessary to become an effective teacher. These experiences have motivated me to continue my education at Cal Poly Pomona by applying to the Single Subject Credential program. Being an educator is a very demanding career which comes with unique challenges that call for creativity, patience, and commitment.

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.

I knew that I wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in fifth grade when I found myself pretending to teach my stuffed animals and making my own worksheets and tests at the library just for fun. I have always loved working with children and watching them learn and grow over time. Teaching became a passion of mine because it gave me the unique opportunity of fostering children’s knowledge and skills and inspiring them to reach their personal goals. As a student and as a future teacher, language arts has always been my favorite subject because it is vital and relevant for children to learn and offers students with an artistic and creative outlet that expands their imagination and understanding of the world around them. When I finally become a teacher, I want to serve as a mentor to my students

A career as an English teacher requires one to be adaptable and well-educated. A teacher

Better yet a teacher that involves the topics I just talked about. I'd actually like to teach people things I find appealing and have a passion for to maybe spark something in them too and hopefully influence good things. Thats why I really hope to learn about those things and maybe if I get a chance to be a teacher I can teach something that interests me. I would also be very happy if I could become an English teacher in Korea. The reason why I say Korea is because I really really fascinated by the culture of Korea and would like to go there someday and I think it would be fun to teach a different language. It doesn't seem too hard to me since I’m already

I dream to be a high school English teacher because I want to change the world, a generation at a time. I highly respect teachers and if I could change the life of just one teenager, I will consider myself successful. I just want to give future generations the ability to communicate and really, help them understand how the world functions.
