I Want To Be A Teacher

You might ask, “Why would you even want to be a teacher?” Well, I surveyed a current teacher and was genuinely pleased with the responses that I received. I asked her what the main reason was on why she chose to pursue teaching, and she responded that she likes being a role

All these experiences have impacted my work ethic and helped me develop habits of patience, a professional attitude , and a desire to work

Ashlyn stated that what attracted her to the profession of teaching was several things. First, Ashlyn stated “I love working with children and I have always known that teaching was what I wanted to do as a career.” (A. Edwards, personal communication, September 12, 2017) She also stated that being a teacher gave her the opportunity to truly make a different in children’s lives by being in an environment that truly strives on making a difference in children’s lives daily. Ashlyn said, “Making a difference in children’s lives is so fulfilling and

“Why do you want to teach?” This infamous question is a pivotal one that I have been asked countless times during my collegiate years. Since youth, my parents’ way of life has inspired me to become a teacher. My father was never properly educated. Rather than going to school full-time, he decided to work to help my grandmother financially. Although he did attend school a few days a week, he never had the support of teachers or family to make education a priority. As a result, he grew up illiterate and lacking the essential skills of reading and writing. The fact that my father never received proper education and lacked a solid supportive learning environment has inspired me to pursue a career in education. I would like to help change the way students easily throw in the towel at school due to family burdens and social circumstances. My mom also inspired me to become a teacher because her career field exposed me to younger children and birthed a love for giving, helping, and motivating children to explore. My mother owned several preschools since I was seven years old. I grew up interacting with a variety of children that attended her

There is many reasons why I want to be a teaching assistant. First off, it is a great job that would allow me to constantly learn and develop my data analysis and Excel skills, providing great experience that will carry over into my major and future career path.

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

I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.

I first became interested in teaching in my sophomore year in high school. My inspiration came from three amazing teachers who showed passion for their subject matter as well as a love for teaching. My desire to become a teacher was amplified by the many leadership and teaching roles that I took on while I was in Boy Scouts. While teaching in Boy Scouts I learned that teaching was what mattered most to me. Under my leadership, I helped advance many scouts to the rank of Eagle Scout as well as winning multiple awards at every summer camp that we attended. This was my jumping point into enrolling in Old Dominion University’s education program.

Once I am into the field of teaching I hope that I can acquire a tenure and find a school that I enjoy being at and stay at that school for a number of years. Aside from the sense of helping kids, one factor of my wanting to teach is so that I can coach athletics. I believe that sports are much like life, and by playing sports, you can learn about life and it's hardships. I want to be able to teach my students and players not only how to play a game, but how to relate the game that they are playing to a real life situation. The reason I strive to do this is that I had a coach in high school to whom I could always look up to for guidance, and many other students too, and he made me want to be a teacher and a coach. I want to be able to enjoy relationships with my former students and players once they get out of school and into the work force.

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

Motivating me to become a teacher are some of my past experiences while in grade school that I want to pass along the same incredible experiences. Middle school is a challenging time for most kids, but was especially challenging for me. One of the things that got me through middle school was my fantastic set of teachers. The qualities that they exemplified during my time in middle school are some that I plan to take with me to my teaching career. Middle school is characteristically a time where kids are finding themselves and the “group” they fit into. My teachers in middle school did everything humanly possible to help me succeed in school but also in life. Motivating me to become a teacher is my desire to help each and every student that comes through my classroom to become a better person in some way shape or form.

Most of my life I have been surrounded by children especially my cousins, nieces and nephews.

There are many reasons why I want to be a teacher. Starting with the most important, I want to influence children positively with Christian perspectives that will help them achieve satisfaction in their life. I also would like the opportunity to coach. I believe coaches have more influence on children than teachers. I think this is true because sports are something that the

Education is the field in which, I plan to dedicate a good part of my life. Knowing that I am majoring in education has given me a direction; I plan to work to my fullest potential to obtain the goals and ideals of becoming not just a good teacher but a great one. Through my years in school many of my teachers have influenced me and have shown me a direction and a career. The teachers I have had over the years have shown me the gratification a person can get out of educating children and being a positive influence on them. The pride that I can take in teaching my students is a feeling that has influenced me to choose this field. Seeing that teaching is not only just a job, but also a way I can

My motivation for being a teacher comes from somewhere deep within my heart and soul. I love children. I love the look that comes across their faces when they finally grasp a concept after they have been trying to truly understand it. I had a lot of teachers that made an impact on me and I want to have the same impact on as many children as possible. My teachers installed a love of learning in me. There is no better profession than teaching for those who want to learn. One is learning just as much from their students, if not more, than what they teach. Teaching is rewarding and involves making the world a better place. That is my calling. To change the world, one person at a time, by showing love to each and every person I meet. Weather it be one of my students or one of their parents, I want to be Christ’s light just like my teachers were for me. I want to be the support system that shows each and every one of my students that they can do anything they put their mind to. Not only can they shoot for the stars, but they can shoot far beyond. After all, I was once just a kid from a small farm town that no one knows about. Now I’ve been on 4 mission trips, I travel all around, and I moved half way across the country to chase my dreams. I am here because I was impacted by my high school history teacher/ musical director, Mr. Wittig. He pushed me to chase my dreams and to follow my heart and not to let anything get in my way. I want to share what I have with every child I can,
