I have a very good idea as to what career I would want after college. The plan for me would be for me to go get a MA in history after FDU and then go into education. I think the goal for me would be to get a Ph.D. in history, but that would be further down the line. But if I was not on this path my two other career options would be public relations and counseling. As a history teacher at the high school level the least I would need is a BA in history and education. Some schools might want a masters in history, but most won’t. This is definitely feasible as I want to start my career in education with more than just the bare minimum. I do not believe I will need any certification because I am going to school be an educator. If I was doing it through alternative route, then yes. I do need to passes certain tests like the PRAXIS and the GREs. Educators really need to be able to control a room and I don’t know if I am certainly able to do that. Another skill I would …show more content…
This would make me get a degree in public relations. This relates very much with what it would take to get a history degree. In all honesty, you probably could get a political advising job with a history degree. This would just require a degree in public relations, most likely a masters. There is no certifications needed. I would probably need to work on my social ability. I am not the most social person and I feel as though this job would have me contacting many people. Also, I am not sure how long I can keep a job because there are certain value principles that I will not break. So if this job would require me to break certain principles I probably would quit. I would most likely need to know someone to work on a political campaign and actually have a say. For that reason, there are most likely not many career opportunities. If I were to done this route I would most likely get a internship at a political
One of the greatest injustices in modern America revolves around the difference in the quality of education students from different classes receive. Children are held back from doing their best in school for simple reasons such as poverty, lack of parental support, teachers who cannot give them individual attention, learning disabilities, undiagnosed mental health disorders, poor health, developmental problems, and so on. It is my personal belief that no child should be held back from achievement for something that can be solved with a treatment plan, individual attention, or a different method of learning. Because of this belief, I decided to pursue degrees in art and education to become a secondary school teacher.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be an elementary teacher. God placed the act of working with kids on my heart when I was very young, and I am thrilled to say that is still where I feel called. I went to a Union elementary school, Moore Elementary, until fifth grade, and the impact my teachers made on me there has shaped me into the person I am today. One of the most influential teachers in my life was my Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Greer. I had the amazing opportunity to go back to Moore and job shadow her. Being around her again made me remember all of the incredible things she taught me, and it was so surreal to see her in action impacting her current students. I am so happy that I got to job shadow her and to watch her from a different perspective than I had being her student. Through this new perspective, I learned so many new things about teaching.
Education is inspiring. The skills we are taught as children inspire us to become who we are today and are carried with us for the entirely of our lives. We learn from our mistakes, our environment, from our parents, our teachers, and our neighbors. To me, education means a future. It comes from my curiosity to learn, to improve, and then to teach. It comes from my drive to inspire.
My life has been an ongoing stuggle, but my hard work, determination, and enthusiasm for my education have enabled me to pursure my dreams. My academic plans are to major in pre-occupational therapy. After graduating and completing the prerequisite, I plan to obtain a license in Occupational Therapy by attending OT School. Success does not come from a pay check. For me, helping and assisting others acheive their goals is the purest form of success. I want to travel and eventually settle down in my hometown. My overall career goal is to give back to the community that shaped me into the person I am. I am a hardworking-dedicated student, who focuses on my work, yet I have always enjoyed being involved in extracirricular activities. As you can see from my application, I enjoy sports and clubs. In the following year, I plan to get deeper involved
My career plan is to go to college and study to pursue the fields of criminology, politics, the legal field, athletic training, and lobbying. Currently, I am undecided on what my future career will be, but I know that I would want to have a career in the social sciences because my goal is to have a career that would positively impact the community around me. These careers relate to my academy of human
In elementary school, we were all asked a question. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I have always known my answer to that question. I want to be a teacher. The question in the back of my mind, was what kind of teacher. Through my life I’ve met many different teachers, and have had many different experiences, that have helped me find an answer to that question. If not for all of these people and experiences, I don’t know where I would be.
Growing up, people would always ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?" as a young child my answer was always “a princess”. Eventually, I realized this dream of mine was unrealistic and began to lean towards a profession in the medical field. The world of medicine enthralled me, even as a child. Flash-forward to senior year of high school where the most common question asked became “where are you thinking of going to college?” As time went on, I had a solid idea of what school I wanted to attend in the fall. When I was accepted to all of my top choices, the decision became a challenge. Strangely enough, Xavier University of Louisiana was the last school I applied to. In fact, it was nowhere on my radar until I did my research.
I am a girl who grew up with low income. Along with that my parents are both deaf alone with my big sister I watch after who has down syndrome. My father is no longer in my life so it’s my responsibility to take care of them. This isn’t a sob story about how awful my life sounds but how much I embrace it. Without my responsibilities I would have never grown to handle so many things I have accomplished. I was able to take college courses at Normandale Community College for free through Post Secondary Education Option (PSEO). I will also become my sister’s legal guardian this early summer. I work two jobs and try really hard to make sure I’m doing well in my classes along with making sure my family is okay. Why I am saying all this is because I feel like I
To become an elementary school teacher, you must first go through school; there are a few steps you can follow. The first and most important step is to find the perfect college. When looking for a college there are three main questions to ask yourself; is the program accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, Is it approved by the State’s department of education, and will you be required to pass certain tests? East Carolina University’s program has all of these crucial requirements. “East Carolina’s program is nationally recognized for the innovation and effectiveness in preparing knowledgeable, informed, professional teacher” (“Elementary Education.”). In making this comment, East Carolina is known for its college of education, so it is a good place to get your degree. At East Carolina University to become an elementary school teacher, the title of your degree is Elementary Education, this degree is a Bachelor’s degree, but many people will further
Something that make me smile, gets me excited, makes me do something is softball. I have played ball all since the day I could walk. I started off playing baseball since I was 2 years old. Then at age 8 I went on to play softball for a select softball team in Pearland. Playing softball has always made me smile! I love the intensity, excitement, and the teamwork that is used to play ball. We all look out for each other and try to pick each other up even when we are not all in the spirit. Some activities that involve science, technology, engineering, and math that I find to be fun is robotics and underwater robotics. Robotics has always been a big part in my life because my dad is a robotics teacher for this school and I always loved playing
My career goal is to be a successful fiction author and to publish over two full series. I’ve chosen this career because I’ve already started writing and I love it. I think that I’d be good at writing because I’m really creative and I love to read, then scribble down whatever pops into my head. I’m always in the middle of writing something and my finger hitting the computer keys is not an uncommon sound. This makes me assume that I’d be good at writing as a career.
A long time ago I moved to Denton, Texas for school, attended Texas Woman's for 4 semesters than dropped out.
I was always different from the other kids in my class. I was reserved and quiet. Most would tell me that I always look like I was in deep thought. Well that's because I was. I always thought that I thought deeper and viewed the world differently than other people my age. I had a great interest in people, in fact they fascinated me. I greatly enjoyed meeting new people and listening to their life or things they like. So I guess one could say my interest in Anthropology dates back to grade school. History was always my best subject, I would always sit at the front of the class "bright eyed and bushy tailed". But I especially loved when they talked about different civilizations of people and the thing they did. When it was time to decide where I wanted to go to college and
