pictures, my mother noticed that I was wearing gray socks to match my black flats. She mumbled, “I did not even notice it. You should have been wearing white socks since your flats is black.” From then on, I decided I do not want to be teacher. In the Philippines, graduation happens every time you passed a grade level, but only the top 10 students of each level can attend the graduation along with the high school seniors who are the main event of the program. As a teacher, my mother went to school early
since I was in high school, my mom has always told me she didn't see me as anything else but that. At that time, I thought my mother was crazy and don't believe a single word she said. I told my mom I was going to become an Mechanical Engineer my senior year of high school. And that's what I did freshmen year of high school. Towards the end of it, I realized engineering wasn't something I truly wanted to do. I went home that summer and saw video of teaching abroad and I realized that what I wanted
The community I was raised in was quiet and small; everyone knew of each other and of any changes in the community. Growing up in the same public school from K-12 allowed me to know most of my peers since elementary school. During my time in the same public school, I knew many of my teachers for years, each one inspired and influenced me in several different ways. However, they all inspired me to become a teacher and make my mark on a school community. I want to teach because I want to make a positive
trouble deciding what I want to be when I grow up. I’ve wanted to be pretty much anything you could think of, a chef, a police officer and even a doctor. But, one day I had an epiphany, I thought why not be a teacher. In school I was never a “good” student and by the time I was a junior in high school my teachers had already given up on me. However, I didn’t let the lack of support stop me from what I needed to do to succeed. I want to be a teacher because, I want to be the teacher I never had going through
I want to become a teacher because I believe that all students are unique in their own way. I want to teach because I want to know that I am making a positive difference in the lives of students. Also, because teaching will allow me to connect with students in ways I've never been able to. I've always felt joy when I am around kids, it brings a sense of excitement. To me it is not simply a job but instead a purpose and my mission. I believe teachers should not be alone in educating their students
As an 8th grader, I realized what I wanted to do. I was playing sports for a local Christian school in Milledgeville, GA. As I watched the good and not so good relationships the students had with their teachers and coaches. I decided then that I wanted to be one of the teachers that the kids loved. The athletic director at the time was the most influential individual that helped me realize my passion and how I could follow my passion and work at the same time. My passions have always included at
important. Personally, I think teach is one of, if not, the most important career. For the simple fact of teachers are the foundation of every other career. I haven’t always wanted to be a teacher, I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, a dentist, a veterinarian, a flight attendant, anything but a teacher. But, God has taken my hand and dragged me down a path I didn’t know was for me and he showed me that this, teaching, was everything I could ever want and more. On my journey down this path I will have many
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Everybody has heard it. Like the average person, I have been asked this question a million times. My response to this question has always been, “I want to be a teacher”, and I have answered it that way for several years! I knew when I was in the 7th grade that I wanted to be a teacher. There are some things that contribute to why I want to teach. They are: my love for math, my love for children, and my appreciation for the art of teaching. In the following
When I was a child I would always play teacher with my grandma. She was a teacher for 42 years, and had all the meter sticks to hit the board, all the old grammar signs, etc. I would love for her to teach me all she knew because the community loved her as a teacher, and continues to talk about her today. It was always fun to learn from her because she would give us short cuts as to how to spell long words, or I would make a song out of what she taught me and I enjoyed every bit of it. My grandmother
Growing up the last thing I would expect to want to be was a teacher. I never really had a specific job choice in mind because I dabbled in different areas. I wanted to be a dancer,singer, chef to a doctor or nurse. No matter what career I thought about I knew that I wanted to help people. It was not until my late high school years that I was blessed to have a teacher that inspired me. I started the year off wanted to be a nurse and ended it wanting to be a teacher. I would come in every morning
