I Want To Be A Teacher

I’ve always aspired to be a teacher. Growing up I wasn’t the smartest kid, and honestly my teachers weren’t very much help with that. Truly, as a struggling student I felt that when I had a bad teacher, there was no chance for me. So ever since I was young, I wanted to grow up to be that change, I didn’t want any struggling student to feel like I did.

I would like to be a teacher because I have always been the one that’s eager to make a difference, I want to be the teacher that children remember for the rest of their life even after school. The love that I have always had for children is what drew me to teaching and the love that I have for learning is where I got my passion to teach. I have been inspired by many teachers in the past who has had a positive impact on my life and these are the ones that I have viewed as a mentor, leader and even as a parent. One particular reason that I chose to pursue a career in the education field is because I believe that when teachers work individually and collectively they have the ability to improve and change the world.

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.

I thought very highly about teachers and education; to me, being a teacher was the best profession to be in. As I got older, I started to look deeper into the idea of being an educator, and my desire to become a teacher grew. My mother had a huge

Choosing my career, that was not entirely easy. Back in Elementary School, I had a couple of teachers that were very good to me. They are who began to make my mind think and wonder about if this job would make a good career for me. It was not only my Elementary School teachers who helped convince me. There were some middle school teachers and a couple high school teachers who persuaded me. These teachers taught me with passion in their hearts. There was nothing but patience and love in their teaching. They taught me the different ways you can teach and get the lesson across to your students. I have kept their ways of teaching in mind for the days when it is time to work towards my degree. Watching my different teachers over the years have given me different reasons to want this career.

when i was growing up i never thought i would want to become a teacher. I always thought i would be something more exciting like a storm chaser, or a astronaut. a teacher back then to me was nothing special, it was just a boring job dealing with ungrateful children. Then when i entered high school I realized teaching students wasn’t as bad as i thought. I started tutoring kids in both math and history. i loved it when they would begin to understand a problem they were stuck on or they remembered that one date in history so they can pass a test. It was amazing.

Growing up, I had such big hopes and dreams for myself. As a child, I always aspired to be a teacher because I loved telling people what to do and taking charge. I am the oldest child and would always have to help my brother with his homework and teach him how to do things around the house. I remember how I enjoy quizzing him for his spelling tests. Unfortunately, life did not go as planned and I ended up taking the wrong path in life. However, 13 years and 3 kids later I decided to return to college.

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

Growing up I never found a hobby I truly enjoyed. My two younger siblings were very outgoing but, it was not as easy for me. My parents were more than willing to pay for it but, over time I lost the desire to find a hobby. I was in the 5th grade when I realized school was my passion. The winter of 2007, I lost my grandfather to leukemia. It was then, that I realized how much I wanted to make him proud. The only way I knew how to accomplish such a goal, was through school. From that point on, school became everything to me. Of course people love doing what they are best at and school was all I really had going for me. Numerically, I was by far, never the best in school but, that did not weaken my determination. My freshman year, Towson University introduced their teaching program to high schools around the county. My passion for learning quickly developed to a passion for teaching. In my eyes teaching will be my way of making a difference and giving back to my society.

From the time I was in third grade, I wanted to be a teacher. I was so confident about my future career choice that I was often reminded that I was young and should explore other options as well. While I listened to the advice, my confidence never wavered. In fact, my desire to become a teacher grew stronger as I became older and gained more experience in educational settings.

My desire to teach really derives from those who really connected me with the love for educating others. The connection I made with my fourth grade teacher really encouraged me to seek a change for the better in my life and help others do the same. For she turned out to be one of my best friends who would watch out and made sure to tell me when something was not quite right with me. The connection I had with her made me feel like I was a part of her family, and could do anything with her support. The way she always had time to listen to my drama or play games with my friends and I created this idea that maybe I could be that person for other kids. In the fourth grade I had just moved from a very different demographic of kids, only had a few

As a kid, I used to tell everyone that I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up, this was only due to the fact that my mother was a teacher though. As I continued to grow, I went through various stages of what I thought I wanted to be: a lawyer, a doctor, the President of the United States, and so on. But during my junior year of high school, I signed up for a cadet teaching program. Through this program I would be able to help teach in a 6th grade English classroom. And as soon as I started teaching those kids, I knew it was something I was extremely passionate about.Helping someone else learn and succeed by teaching and practicing the things they struggle with them is such a gratifying experience.

As a little girl, I always played to be a teacher, but I never thought that one day being a teacher was going to be my goal. Now, I do not see myself with a different career other than working as a teacher. I like to help people with whatever I can, and I knew that I wanted a career where I can contribute to the community. However, I was not sure what kind of career was ideal for me. During my high school years, I debated between different professions, but thanks to some great teachers that I had, I was able to decide that I want to be an elementary teacher.

A part of my identity that I believe is necessary to know and understand about me is that I am a leader. To me leadership is doing what needs to be done and making sure it gets done, showing people the what the right decision and action to take is, and being someone that people respect, follow and trust. There are two ways a person can lead, by example and by showing people how the task at hand should be done and they follow. Also a leader is respected, with the ability to tell people what needs to get done. I exert both of these traits in multiple places in my life.

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I was the typical little girl setting up my stuffed animals and pretended that they were my students. As I got older, that passion remained. I entered college and received my teaching license and almost immediately left the field.
