I Want To Be A Teacher

I am Brianna Downer and my goal is to become an elementary school teacher. Becoming a teacher is not something that happens overnight. This is a process where you have to know the requirements, challenges, and also the pros and cons of being a teacher. My goal will be achieved at the end of my journey.

For someone of the autism spectrum, I am getting more opportunities out of my education than what most people would think. I have published my own research, set up dinosaur skeletons, and I have even got some hands on experience with digging for fossils in New York. I work incredibly hard to achieve my goals and to make my dreams come true. The world will see that even though I am on the autism spectrum, I am capable of doing anything. The only thing that is in the way is the great amount of finances necessary to continue my education at Mercyhurst. Given that it is a private school and one of the top 100 best colleges in the United States, the tuition is very expensive.

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. Parents, families and communities need to work together to support and enrich the lives of their children. By being a part of your child's education, you are showing them that you care and support them.

A role model is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness, live to our fullest potential and see the best in ourselves. A role model can be anybody, a parent, a sibling, a friend, but some of our most influential and life changing role models are teachers. Doctors, engineers, policemen, soldiers and politicians, how did they all get to where they are today? No matter the position someone may hold in society everyone has progressed to where they are in life because they had a good teacher that taught them with a valuable education. What I want to do after 10 years? I have several goals and accomplishments that I want to reach in the next 20 years. First, I want to be a dedicated teacher working in a great and popular school. I will be finishing my study until I get the title of Philosophy Doctor. To become this profession, it generally takes about 10 years of education. In my opinion, teaching is one of the

When I was at University I was asked to be a computer science teacher in a new school in Kazakhstan. This school is not big and located far from town. So it was very difficult to find professional teacher. I was working in this school for 1 year. I didn't like it very much because I must teach with a special teaching programm. But it was so outdated! We must study how to do first computer steps (turn on\off, create folder and etc.) for 3 lessons! More then 2 hours for this goals, for children that grown with electronic devices in their hands! I changed this program by myself. Of course I gave my students mandatory information, because I wanted they don't have problems with theirs exam. But I also gave them an extra information. We were styding how to use computer every day and how computer can do our life more easy. It was more interesting for me and for my student. In that time I was understand that all that you want to teach you students must be actual. Don't give them outdated information that they never used (it concern computer science). And don't forget that your students are very clever! You shoud prepeare a lot of interesting things for them.

Why do I want to become a teacher, you ask? Well a teacher is a very important role model for many childrens and parents as well. You can either have a very positive or negative impact on the students. Growing up in an Asian household, teachers were well respected and was loved by parents, despite them being good or bad. To my parents teachers are always right, I grew up to believe otherwise. I want to become a teacher and be the teacher who will not disappoint my students. I want to plant a strong seed in my students, so they can grow and expand from it. I want to teach because I want to educate students of Basic Skills, to support the students in and outside of school with the needs to be successful, I also want to see diversity in the educational field.

Becoming a teacher has been a personal goal of mine since I was 15 years old. I always knew I had a knack for teaching, that teaching would be the career for me. Ever since I started my gymnastics job back in 2015 teaching children from the ages of 3 to age 16. I love working with children in educational environments. Being able to have my own little class and associating myself with children everyday made me understand how much I would enjoy teaching a classroom full of students. After factoring in the parent's role, teachers play a secondary parent role. This is an important part in a child’s life, sometimes being their only expert of support and encouragement. As a secondary guardian and teacher, I want to get to know my students; to get a better understanding of their personalities’, where they stand in academic levels, how they need to be taught etc. I want to meet their needs and create the best learning environment possible for them and for me.

I want to become a teacher because I would love to give back to the village who helped raise me, be a mentor to my students, help students to learn and truly understand Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics also known as STEM and the careers associated with it. People in my community have helped me get to where I am today. With my mom being a single parent to two kids and maintaining a full time job was not easy, she relied on extended family when needed. For example, when I was in Kindergarten my Grandfather would always talk to me about money management. The basics of budgeting of how a person can have fifty dollars to spend, but they want to purchases six items for ten dollars each. I was able to do this by adding ten dollars, six times then subtracting this by fifty dollars to see that there was ten dollars left. He did not like my method of reasoning so he taught me how to multiply six times ten dollars and to subtract fifty dollars from this answer. I remember asking him what is multiplication, and within two weeks I not only knew how to multiply, when to multiply, but I learned my multiplication facts one through twelve. Multiplication is very hard for most second graders, let alone a kindergarteners. One lesson I learned from that day forward it does not matter how young a person is or the time frame they have to learn it in they can do it. I have applied this same rule time and time again for the past fifteen years. Without this lesson, I am

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 least one of the following: children, sports, and helping children learn. Each passion presents an opportunity to incorporate my main reasons for teaching. My main reasons for wanting to be a teacher are because I want to help students overcome things they do not understand; to provide a safe, loving, reliable, and a trustworthy family atmosphere; to instill attributes of commitment, persistence, determination, and loyalty.

From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Throughout my years in school, I quietly observed the teachers I had starting in about 5th grade. I listened to their words of wisdom, picked up on their classroom management techniques, and admired their work as they taught us the skills we’d later need in life. While I was in school, I had two teachers who stood out to me the most. They stood out not only in terms of effective teaching, but also as great influences and people in general. They made a point to connect with their students inside and outside of the classroom, and I will always hold both of them dear to my heart.

Ever 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 to do. I wanted to travel and teach. I already liked being around kids and would always smile whenever I saw a small child. It was then I fully committed myself to being a teacher.

Educators have a very large impact on children of all ages, and sometimes they are the only positive influence that the children have in their lives. Children are enrolled in schools and/or educational programs to learn the basics of reading, writing, math, and many other curricula like this. However, I believe that in order to be a successful teacher you have to work to your best ability to provide a safe place for your students while making it fun and educational. I believe it is important for each individual to feel loved while they are learning during their time at school. There are many students that have had great experiences with their teachers, while others have not been so fortunate. I want to be an educator because I believe I can make a positive impact on the children’s lives by showing them that I care, and because I was fortunate to have educators that made me love school.

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 is the one who inspired me to become a teacher. I love to see kids have fun in school because I was a kid who did not particularly like school. To see a lightbulb, turn on in a kid’s head when helping them is a great accomplishment in my heart. I was a student who liked to have songs, sayings, shortcuts, etc. when I learned something new. I would like to have the classroom whose students remember that grade, and what they did in the classroom because it was fun. The grade I experienced that feeling, was in the fourth grade with Mrs. Smith. The other reason I would like to be a teacher is because I want kids to go to school and enjoy it. They should not dread going to school to learn, it should be their favorite part of the day. Elementary school is when the kids’ mindsets starts in school, and I want to be the leader for the kids. I want to be able to persuade them, encourage them, and love them so they feel welcomed and ready to learn.

When I was in high school all of my teachers used to tell me “If I didn’t enjoy teaching I wouldn’t do it”. I always understood that they had a passion for teaching and for teenagers. They would always tell stories about their teenage years in order to show us why they push us so hard to do our best. They wanted us to succeed and to go off to a good job or a good college. They always believed in us and supported us in whatever way possible, whether we needed help with homework or someone to talk to. They were the model of what I want to look like when I become a teacher, whether it’s with teenagers or children it doesn’t matter to me. I want to be that voice that’s always pushing them, saying that I know that they can do it. Teaching is a hard profession with standards and students that don’t seem to care about their grades or their life. There are late nights and days of doing nothing but lesson planning along with endless amounts of homework to grade. Teaching is a hard profession that you will need discipline, patience, and flexibility to deal with. It is, however, one I feel prepared to handle.

Since the beginning of high school, I have always wanted to become a teacher. Back then, I always thought that becoming a teacher would be easy. I never thought about all the work that had to be put in to become a teacher. The only things I knew were that it was going to be hard to find a job as a teacher, and I also knew that a teacher’s annual pay was not that high. At first, I thought becoming a teacher would be easier than most jobs. Now, after a year in college and learning more about becoming a teacher, I know that that is a false statement. Now, I know that becoming a teacher takes a lot of work and time. It is also very competitive at Ohio State, so I may not even be able to make it into my major; which is a scary thought. Even though I may not make it into my major, my feelings about teaching, as a career path is still the same as it was when I started college. Ever since the beginning of high school, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I love being around children and I want to make a difference in their lives. We learned in many of my classes that a lot of people have different reasons of wanting to be a teacher; one reason was because of the school schedule. My cooperating teacher last semester, Suzanne Brungart, had said that the school schedule was one of her main reasons why she wanted to start teaching.
