I Want To Be A Teacher

Throughout my life I've encountered amazing human beings who have inspired me to be better. I cannot imagine not going to college because it feels like I have no other option. It's like trying to get from the kitchen to the living room. You know all you have to do is walk. I feel like all I can do is college. The one goal I am trying to achieve in my life is doing what I love for a living. I want to become a Therapist. I love making people feel better and helping find a better way to figure out things that may be stressful and depressing in their lives. Within the next 10 years, I hope to be only two years or less closer to getting my doctorates degree for  Counseling Psychology. I aspire to inspire. I work hard everyday in school because I

I am interested on being a third to fifth grade teacher in a public elementary school and have spent the last three years working towards that goal. I want to attend this program in order to better prepare myself to teach students of this age range and be an active agent in curriculum planning. I would also like to continue my education past this level through either self-taught, continuing education, or online courses, and possibly attain a doctorate at a later time.

From a young age, I have always wanted to understand other people’s thoughts and feelings. As I have grown older, I have grown even more curious about not only understanding people, but learning how to help them. With this guiding me, my future career goal is to become an Occupational Therapist. Occupational Therapists work with a wide variety of people to help them overcome obstacles in their lives in order to achieve a better quality of life. I specifically hope to work with young children, adolescents, and teens who suffer from emotional, mental, or cognitive impairments. This is due to growing up in a family who fostered challenged children, having siblings with their own challenges, and having many young friends who could have benefitted

I would like to be part of Teach for America due to my love and ethical responsibility to teaching students. I have an ethical responsibility to teach because of my in-depth knowledge of student development in the areas of physical, social/emotional, and cognitive domains of children. Another aspect of my ethical responsibility that verifies why I would like to be a part of Teach for America is that, like Teach for America, I believe that every student deserves an education that is developmentally appropriate and meets their individual needs. I would be working alongside professionals whose main focus is on the concept of equity for all. Every student has the right to education no matter their race, gender, or economic background. Coming from

Like other freshmen in college, it was difficult for me to adjust to college atmosphere. Once I comprehended how significant it was for me to get into graduate school I went to tutoring, assembled study groups, and fixed my concentration on my academics.

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.

As a kid, I always felt like I was on the wrong side of the fence. Even into my early adulthood, I still felt a sense of otherness and invalidity. Over the last three years, working at Ruskin Elementary School has allowed me to recognize all the teachers in my life who have never given up on me. I don’t always feel like I deserved the interest they took in me, but their selfless patience and love for teaching gifted a once, lost kid, a sense of confidence, value, and worth I never thought I could have. More importantly, the last three years at Ruskin have exposed me to the concrete disparities deeply embedded within our education system. Those who our society often paints as nuisances and burdens have been painted as such since birth. A child

As the world expands, new jobs are developed just as frequently as old jobs are destroyed, and we have society and lifestyles to thank for that. So when choosing a career field, you must keep that in mind, which might make it a little tricky. When choosing a career you have many factors to take into consideration such as, but not limited to; salary, hours, locations and most importantly if you are going to love what you do and not feel like you're dragging yourself out of bed every morning to go to work. But besides the great feeling of loving what you do everyday and wanting to do the second most important factor to take in consideration is, to think about what jobs aren't going to be changing anytime soon or have a large decrease in

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

Approximately seventy-three million dogs are owned in the United States, which leaves little doubt that veterinarians are in demand. Ever since I was a young child I wanted to be a veterinarian, but as I grew older I started to believe I would be better off being a vet tech. Everything changed when I obtained a job at the clinic, I acquired a front row seat to what it was truly like to be a veterinarian.

If I were to list the careers that I have had in mind since I was a 5 year old up to my current age the list would probably include: a Fireman, a Doctor, a Local News Anchor, or a Lawyer. However, amongst all these careers there is always one common characteristic in them. That common characteristic is to be given the opportunity to help people. With my passion in the sciences, success, and the goal of helping others there is no better place for me than in the medical field. Through personal, volunteer, and first hand experiences the career I have decided to pursue is neurology.

Almost every day after school I would return to my Chemistry classroom where my amazingly patient and understanding teacher would help me with the material we were learning in class. At first, this experience negatively impacted my life. Entering the class I would feel defeated. I wasn’t confident enough to participate in class discussions; I felt like I was disappointing my dad because he didn’t understand why I was having such difficulties in this specific class; I felt like I would never be good at science even though prior to this class I thought I might even major in a science based

The ocean takes up more than seventy percent of earths surface, but there are so many mysteries that we have yet to solve. We have explored less than five percent of the ocean, the majority of what makes up the planet we live on. I aspire to study the ocean and all of its mysteries, to discover new findings and help the animals of the sea along the way. I have wanted to be a marine biologist since I was little. The ocean has always been where I feel at home. From floating on the waves looking out into the unknown, or below the water searching for something new, becoming a marine biologist has always been my passion. Alongside my passion of my dream job was my love for sports, volleyball in particular. I was faced with the challenge of giving

I grew up on a small farm in a small town. My parents are both educators at the school I grew up in. To my surprise my parents were not thrilled when I told them I had a passion for education. Their first words to me were, “are you sure,” “don’t you think you are wasting your intelligence,” and “you’re not going to make very much money.” This was discouraging coming from the two people I thought I would look up to going into my future career. I was at a loss for some time, until I sat down with my grandfather one day after church. He asked me if I had decided what I wanted to do after college. To this I replied, I want to be a teacher. Expecting the same response as my
