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. Many people believe there is no reason
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.
When I think about the reasons why I want to teach one reason always comes to mind. That look on the child’s face when they first see you each day. They are so happy to be there. They know that I will always be there for them. I offer them a sincere greeting and a caring environment. We joke, play, and learn together, all while making a unique connection. I love that the students teach me just as much as I will be teaching them. They teach me to live simple and stop worrying so much.
What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a common question people ask children and young adults; however, for me this was never a simple question to answer. The notion of picking just one profession that you will essentially do for the rest of your life is scary! It has taken me years to find the answer to that question, but I have finally decided that I want to be a teacher when I grow up. The main reasons I want to be a teacher is because I thoroughly enjoying working with children, I want to make a difference in young children’s lives, and because of the scheduling of the profession.
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
As a teacher, I want to provide protection and understanding to students so they feel free to discover and develop their skills in the classroom. I want to help students with their interest and desire to excel. The challenge for me to be a teacher involves me more than teaching is the commitment to take care of my behavior in and out of school and be a good example for
Most of my life I have been surrounded by children especially my cousins, nieces and nephews.
I hope that one day I can be the role model and great teachers they were for me for another student. I believe that being an elementary teacher is one of the greatest jobs you can do. You are giving children the building blocks of knowledge that they will use through out their lives and academic careers. I do not want to just teach children the basics of math or spelling though I want to teach them life lessons that they will carry with them forever. While there are thousands of teachers around the world a good teacher will teach children to love learning and I hoe that is what I am able to do as a
School is a major part of our young lives. It is where we spend the majority of our time as youngsters. Children begin to develop relationships with people who have not been apart of their infancy. For someone who does not enjoy school, this could put a damper on their relationships with others as well as their learning achievements in life. This is why I want to become a teacher. I want to develop a learning atmosphere where children feel joy and security.
Why you want to be an ECE teacher, include goals of your professional carrier and expectations of the class?
I love learning and I want to inspire the next generation to be as interested in expanding the world around them. I want to be able to encourage children to be curious always wanting to expand their horizons to achieve more than they thought originally possible. My goal as a teacher is to be a positive influence that as adults my students can look back on and say I helped form their opinions on education and the power of knowledge.
My most important reasons for being a teacher are because I want to be part of a formal process that helps young people reach their potential, by providing them with the tools required so they can continue developing the skills to continue with self-learning about content, their social environment and themselves; because of the desire work surrounded by professionals who collaborate to pursue this objective; and because of the satisfaction to do something meaningful.
I am studying Early Childhood Education to become an elementary school teacher. For as long as I remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. I would say that my decision was influenced by the fact that I am the oldest of my siblings and cousins, so I’ve always been the leader and sort of in charge. I am the only girl out of my cousins and brother, so they just accepted the guidance because I had the most attitude. Another reason that could contribute to why I want to teach is my personality. I’ve always been the student to follow the rules and I’ve never been able to understand why some of the other students did not. When my class had Fun Fridays in elementary school, instead of playing games with the rest of the class, I would ask the teacher if I could run errands or help put our graded worksheets in the cubbies. I also read to the pre-k and kindergarten students while I was in fifth grade. The school counselor was the one to give me the opportunity to read to them and many more things that has inspired me. Since it is mandatory for all children to attend school, it is important for them to be safe and comfortable. I want to be a teacher that can make this possible for students. Throughout my life, teachers have helped me with many challenges that I have faced, I know that I can make a positive difference in students’ lives!
Besides the added bonuses of teaching, the joy of being around children has much appeal to me. It is not necessarily that I just like working with children. Many people enjoy being with children but are not fitted to be a teacher. I want to teach because of the satisfaction you receive when a child learns a new concept. The most rewarding part is when you struggle and struggle for so long with a child to learn the most basic of notions. The time and effort you invest in helping a child grasp what 2 + 2 is or how to write a thesis statement is what makes the job worthwhile. When the child finally achieves the long awaited goal and can perform without help, the joy and pride the teacher feels is one part that draws me to the profession. The teacher can see the excitement of the child in his eyes, and it makes the teacher feel like they just conquered all. Moreover, I find joy in seeing children take pleasure in the little things in life. Being a teacher, the children remind you every day of how beautiful a butterfly is after its transformation, and how neat it is to watch a bee land on a flower to collect pollen. Children cherish the small things and remind you to not get wrapped up in the circus of life. Thus, I want to be a teacher because I know I will experience
There are many reasons why I want to be a teacher. I adore children and I think they have a great sense of humor. Teachers also have a job security and that is important because not all jobs have that. I feel like in order to be a teacher I need to have compassion for My students. As a teacher, I want to care for my students and show them appreciation. I want my students to succeed in what they want in life. According to Ferlazzo (2015), “Students work hardest for teachers they like and respect. When I am asked, “How do I get students to like and respect me?” my immediate response is, ‘Like and respect them first.’” I believe this whole heartedly because I have always been taught to treat others the way I want to be treated. It would appease me to know that I have mentored someone into being an intellectual individual. I would like to teach the second grade because I enjoy the energy they give off and I value the foundations of elementary education.
There are several reasons why I want to become a teacher. Being a teacher, to me, means that you have a passion for something that is so great there is nothing you would rather than to share that same passion with someone else. I want to become a teacher because I love to share what I know with other people. When friends or family have any sort of question about a historical event that has already happened or is happening now, I am more than willing to share my knowledge with them; however, I do not just share facts. I offer them facts and separate ways of interpreting those facts so that they can make their own opinions based on the knowledge I gave them. I wish to carry on doing this but to a larger audience so I can share my knowledge and passion with as many people as I can. I also want to become a teacher because the feeling you get when you know you helped someone understand something they previously did not
