Broome Community College Job Analysis

I became the teachers’ helper. I stayed afterschool twice a week while my brother was at boy scouts and helped Mrs. Clapp grade papers. I spent hours grading papers, photo copying papers for her, and even doing extra homework in her classroom. The memories that I have working with her are some of my favorites. When I think about her, I think about how kind she was to let me help.

One major experience in my life that will influence my academic work and also my goals while attending CCU is my current job as a paraprofessional at Caliche Elementary school. I started my work there in the fall of 2013. At the time I thought the job would be a huge benefit because I would be working at the same school my children attended and I would have a similar schedule so I could be home as I always have been. I also have two children who have IEPs and have received services from the special ed. department. I didn't realize how much these other children would affect my life. I love my job and I had never thought of myself as being one to work with children on a day to day basis. I have found myself looking forward to seeing these children every day and being a part of their learning environment.

After graduation, I searched for jobs and most of the time I froze up in the interviews. The only interview I nailed was an interview for teaching position for Duval County School Board. Therefore, I became a part of the teaching profession in the fall of 1998 teaching Biology, Algebra I, Physical Science, and Chemistry in different years up until 2001. Additional, I was a science adjunct professor for two years at Florida Community College in Jacksonville.

Above all, after having this amazing experience, as well as feeling the way I feel about my kids, I’ve decided to pursue a Master in Student Counseling. With this type of Master, I could help more kids to continue their educations. I would really enjoy helping students even when they don’t believe in themselves, or have any limitation that makes them doubt what

The first person I interviewed was C. Hawkins in her Head Start class. Mrs. Hawkins is a Head Start Teacher who works with 3 year old children at the Head Start Program in Henderson, NC. Mrs. Hawkins began in the early childhood field as a lead teacher in a childcare center after obtaining her associate’s degree. She worked there for about 9 years before the center closed. She said she was in the process of obtaining her bachelor’s degree in early childhood when she applied for the Head Start Teacher position. Although she had the experience she said she took a chance because she had yet to finish her bachelor’s degree which was one of the job requirements. She was very grateful when she was hired on the contingency of beginning a bachelor’s program within six months. Since she was already in the process, it didn’t take too much longer for her to finish her degree. She comes up with weekly thematic lesson plans that cover all areas such as reading, music, writing, language,

Ever since I can remember, I have held an interest in education. While I was a student in high school, I held a job where I assisted a blind girl with her homework. I would read her assignments and assist her with homework. That job led me to assist a Special Ed teacher in organizing her class materials and other things so that it left more time for her to create her teaching plans.

As a senior at Fort Zumwalt South High School, I have had plenty of time to reflect on the impact I have left in my school, and community. I plan on attending the University of Southeast Missouri to become an occupational therapist, and the involvement that I have had will allow me to achieve this goal.

Ever since I was little some of my meaningful memories have originated from when I was at the Nemours Hospital for Children. As I grew older, I started to go there less until this past summer, I applied to volunteer at the hospital . I wasn't sure whether I wanted to do it or not but i applied anyway under my mothers influence. I got into the program. Once I started my volunteering I soon realized that this would be the event that marks my transition from childhood to adulthood. With learning to make new friends, learning to care for children, and learning of the value of volunteering, I had begun my transition to adulthood.

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that in my future I wanted to become a teacher. I always looked up to my teachers, especially the ones I had in elementary school. I even played 'school' with my friends and pretended I had my own classroom. I loved being in charge. During a summer, I was given the opportunity to work as an Energy Express mentor and work with a group of eight children. This was one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever been through. I was a mentor to help guide the children, and by the end of the summer I felt as if I had really accomplished something. I am planning to pursue a career in elementary education. I love children, and just knowing that as a

I am an ambitious candidate who is willing to take all the step to fulfill these challenging part time job goals while I’m attending college.

Although it was only an entry level job, I had my foot in the door. I was able to work special events and coach pee-wee baseball and soccer. I also played the role of Santa in the 2014 Chino Christmas parade. Later, I was given the opportunity to work in Chino’s afterschool program. As a team, co-workers and I watch after elementary students whose parents must work into the evening. We participate in crafts, sports and homework. This is the most rewarding position I have had because I’m granted with a daily opportunity to impact the lives of my community’s

I started out my career in the classroom, but experienced a quick burn out and wanted to be in a positive environment to regroup, so I took a position at the Children’s Museum at Cincinnati Museum Center. I quickly became enamored with

During my program observation, I observed the local elementary. This elementary educates level Pre-Kindergarten to Second Grade. For my project, I chose the aware and active age of Pre-K. This specific classroom held a variety of ages preparing for kindergarten, starting at five to six years old, with 14 children. While I was observing, the main teacher taught many of the centers, and lessons, although there was another supervisor that would stop in and take one student who had trouble staying focused and remaining calm. This advisor would stop in once every few hours to give this child a quick break, and reminded him of appropriate behavior. After my interview with the professional, the qualifications required for this location include Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, required by law. The teacher who lead this classroom of pre-kindergarteners attended the University of Northern Iowa. Most of the children in this classroom were around the age of six, one student who was the youngest turned six the day school started, and most celebrate their half birthdays during winter time.

This is my second year at Longwood. Before coming here, I attended Richard Bland College with the hopes of being a pediatric physical therapist. Throughout the years at Bland, the hopes of being a P.T. changed. I have had different career goals I wanted to be a juvenile probational officer and a social worker. I always knew I wanted to work with kids and be an important figure in their lives. I grew a liking to kids when I became an Aunt. I have two nieces and two nephews and over the years as I watch them get older I enjoyed being around them. Every time I attend a family gathering you could always find me hanging with the kids. It was much easier to be myself around them because of my personality. I consider myself as an energetic, silly, playful, and compassionate individual. My journey at Longwood has not been easy due to my academic situation, choosing a minor, and future.

I became a substitute teacher in Broward County Schools in Florida, but worked so many hours volunteering at my sons ' school that I did not have time to substitute.
