High School Education

I wanted to become a teacher because I enjoy serving others, and as a lawyer I have the gift of talking too much. Teaching is so rewarding and gives me a sense that I am making the world a better place one student at a time. I feel proud of my students that always remember me as their teacher, even when they are in college, they pass by the school to see me or if they meet me on the street or any other location, they approach me and show gratitude and that is priceless!

want to be a teacher becuas I want to make a difference in the lives of as many students as I can.I have had much experience working with children- from vacation bible study teacher, bible study teacher, to youth leader for the young adult choir.These responsibities have helped me realize my love for children. All these experiences have impacted my work ethic and helped me develop habits of patience, a professional attitude , and a desire to work

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

In “Should the Obama Generation Drop Out?” Charles Murray believes that “a large majority of young people do not have the intellectual ability to do genuine college-level work” (95). Although this is true, not every career field requires the same level of coursework and may require different levels of intellectual ability. Also, academic intelligence should not be viewed as the only type of intelligence out there, and people with other gifts and talents should definitely be acknowledged and respected as well. Of course, most well-paying jobs require more than a high school education “…but it need not mean four years on a campus” (Murray 95). For instance, people who are aspiring to become a

“In the United States today, there is no more certain investment than a college education”(Carnevale and Melton). Education has always been a major component of American society. One can only go so far without an education, and the more education and knowledge someone has, the better their chances of being successful. Some people believe a high school education is enough, and it is, enough to land a job at a fast food restaurant. I speculate they feel this way because they feel school is not for them, or maybe they just do not want to go far in life. To get far in life people must go above and beyond, and learn things that others do not know to make them

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

A CNN investigation showed that, “Public universities across the country where many students in the basketball and football programs could read only up to an eighth-grade level.” Universities that are popular for their medical or law programs, aren’t so popular the intelligence of their athletes. Colleges expect adults coming out of high school to be an intellectual individual, many aren’t at that level yet. Student’s graduation high school are young, ages vary from 17 to

There are the students who decide not to go to college and start a career instead. They enter true adult life right out of high school. Life for those students is not getting any better. From 1987 to 2007, average lifetime income for a high school graduate dropped by 20 percent while the average lifetime income for college graduates has raised by one percent (Davies). The value of a high school diploma is dropping. The knowledge gained in high school is not enough for a good paying job. For those looking to go on to a higher education are also unprepared. They are paying large amounts of money for college to learn what they should already know. This problem with young adults can be traced back to school before high school.

After high school, there are plenty of routes for people to go to enhance their future. Some go into the work force, a few serve in the military, and plenty go to college. College is a choice many people make to get a higher education. It is an opportunity to take an extra step in life and become whatever they want to be in life. Students cannot do that if the prices of going to school is too high for them.

I have chosen to go into this field because I want to be one of those early childhood teacher that get children ready for important part of life. Having little cousins to watch growing up as well my own children and see them grow in their early education has shown me that I want to be part of that. I love the thought of being the first person to get the children started with their education by helping them along the way with fun filled classroom activities and games.

I chose Education as my career path because I have always wanted to spend my life in a profession that I enjoy and that I want to go to each day and not dread over. I want to teach children to be lifelong learners because that is what I am, and you can never learn to much information. I want children to enjoy learning new things and want to find out new things as they go throughout their own lives, just as I enjoy learning new ways of connecting to and educating them.

I am choosing the field of education to teach and to enjoy what I do for a living, and to get what I feel will be the best from life and a career. Working with children and teenagers is something I get great satisfaction from.

Education has been crucial hardship for many year and it hasn’t changed now. District learning is a program that extends your high school education experience. Which you can use to get to make up classes or even get ahead in your education. It’s an program that offers online courses for affordable prices. Although there are some small flaws with district learning. For the most it has been a pleasant experience. Distance learning is an acceptable program because it gives me a head start in my education, the teachers are always encouraging and it is a convenient program.

The big question teachers ask me throughout my life is “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I never had an answer to that. Going into college I didn’t have a set plan as to what career I would like to pursue. However, I knew that I wanted to work with kids; I originally wanted to be a pediatrician. That career choice was based on my family wanting me to be successful, so I put my passion for working with kids and their passion together. As I began to focus on what I want instead of what others want, I changed my major to Early Childhood Education and chose the path of teaching as my career choice. I have high hopes for this career because teachers are always needed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), the employment rate for my career choice will increase by six percent from 2014 to 2024. In this world, education is valued and will help put people many steps ahead. The reason why I chose to be an elementary teacher is because I want to be able to motivate and inspire my younger generations.

If Cory is correct that students go to a great school to learn “the habit of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination,” then one could conclude that those who haven’t gone to college lack those traits. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 39% of students enrolled in colleges in 1999 were twenty-five years or older. (NCES, 1) This would seem to indicate that many people are delaying their education for various reasons. Some go directly to the work force after high school for financial reasons. Others might join the military or choose to explore the world around them before going to college. There are also some students who may feel they are not cut out for college because of poor grades in high
