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
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 have always known that it is my passion to help people. This is why upon graduating I attended Mohawk College to pursue a career as an Educational Assistant. After receiving my diploma I began my career helping children with special needs. On a daily basis I have interactions with social workers and children who are involved with the Catholic Children’s Aid Society. I have had many eye opening experiences during my time spent with them. I have worked alongside our school’s Social Worker and have gained insight into mental health. Being an E.A. is rewarding, but I have come to the realization that I aspire to do more for children in need; I wish to become a social worker.
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
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.
Most of my life I have been surrounded by children especially my cousins, nieces and nephews.
As a child playing school with the neighborhood children, I had always dreamed of becoming a teacher. Since the first day of kindergarten, watching the teacher teach us how to do basic things like counting, writing, and reading is what interested me in teaching. Throughout my elementary and secondary education I became even more interested in the teaching field. I thought that being a teacher would be the best thing in the world because a teacher has an immense amount of knowledge. Now I am in college where I am currently studying to be a secondary mathematics teacher. There are several reasons why I want to become a teacher, but the two most important reasons are to make a difference and to
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.
There has always been one big idea that my family stressed on me growing up while in school.That big idea is going to college to get a degree in something that I would like to do for the rest of my life.I thought that they were wrong because who really wants to go to a school that you have to pay for yourself.Until I made it to high school and by my sophomore year I actually figured out what I wanted to be and do for the rest of my life.I want to be a History teacher.The reason why because not only do teachers teach kids what they are supposed to but they also teach them certain life lessons that can help them lead a good life.I am writing to you specifically because it would be a great honor to be accepted into your college.You may ask why a history teacher and why not a english or math teacher, subjects that we are going to use in everyday.I chose history because it is the one and only subject that caught my eye and one that I actually understood.Now I want to take the time to explain why I would the best candidate for your college.Not only am I one of consistency or in other words able to stick with one thing and finish it but can also stick with many things and see them out.At times I can be a multitasker but only when I have to because if I always multitask and get everything done at once then I do not learn, so I guess it could be called good time management.My freshman year I joined at my high school the Public Safety Academy because I had in my mindset that I wanted
Over the years I have been making decisions about what career I’m interested in pursuing. I decided to pursue the career of an Elementary School Teacher. To become an elementary school teacher, there are many obstacles one as to meet. But once they are skillful they plan daily lessons for the day. These daily lesson plans are based on multiple subjects for the students to learn various subjects. A teacher is able to adjust their way of teaching for students to understand what is being taught. Not only that, but they learn how to communicate well with them and they gain a relationship with the students. For this reason, is why I chose this career I want everyone to realize that they can learn many things by getting an education as well as attending
I want to go to college to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. I love being around children. I am patient. A good teacher needs to be patient. I believe teaching would be a rewarding and fulfilling career.
Why you want to be an ECE teacher, include goals of your professional carrier and expectations of the class?
“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination,” said by Earl Nightingale. What is important about my future? I always have a plan. Even it is just going to the store, I have to a list and a game plan. I know everything in life will not go according to plan either. My first twenty four years of life have been a big mess, and I’m still trying to get on the straight and narrow completely. But let me tell you about my main goals in life.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Everybody has heard it. Like the average person, I have been asked this question a million times. My response to this question has always been, “I want to be a teacher”, and I have answered it that way for several years! I knew when I was in the 7th grade that I wanted to be a teacher. There are some things that contribute to why I want to teach. They are: my love for math, my love for children, and my appreciation for the art of teaching. In the following paragraphs, I will provide a deeper explanation for my reasons.
Growing up every little girl or boy at one point says they want to be a teacher when they get older. I specifically remember taking home extra worksheets in the first grade so that I could play school with my dolls. I even went as far as telling my mom that when I grew up I wanted to be a teacher so I could yell at little kids. I guess I was a little unclear on the teaching aspect of things. However, here I am all these years later and I am an instructor at a University in West Virginia at my alma mater. This isn’t exactly where I expected my life to take me but I also wouldn’t trade it for the world. If you would have asked high school senior me, I would have said I was going to be a computer specialist. I spoke highly on how computers were going to change the world and I wanted to be there when it happened. Then my freshman year of college I went and helped my cousin’s new husband screen for patients for his Chiropractic office and the Monday after working with him, I changed my major to Biology and set my goal to Chiropractic school.
When I was in high school, I worked as an aide in an elementary school during one period of the day. When I first began working there, I had second thoughts about choosing education as a career, but then I worked with Michael. One of my tasks was to listen to Michael read everyday and monitor his progress. Michael was a problem child who people tended to turn away from, but I was drawn to him. Michael became something of a project for me. I found that Michael would work very hard on his reading just because he sensed that I was interested in him, and, as a result, his reading began to improve. I rejoiced at Michael’s improvement, but I knew this was his triumph not mine. Michael had
