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

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.

First, I have a passion to teach younger students and help shape their early development. I think that children are highly impressionable in their earlier years and I want to play a role in their early development.

“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

The reason why I want to teach is because of the essential and noble profession. Next to parents, I think teacher are important foundational element in our society. Being a teacher would show me the value, knowledge, and character to be a figure for children to look up to. The important thing is the proper preparation and the fundamental to living a full and rewarding life. A teacher is defined as someone who gives instruction and communicates skills. Teachers enhance the lives of our young children by using their teaching methods to deliver valuable information, which will serve the purpose throughout their lives.

When I finish my associates in Arts at Greenville Technical College, I plan to transfer to get my Bachelors (B.A.) in Early Childhood Education from University of South Carolina- Columbia. I chose this career because I love children with a passion and every job I’ve had has been with children involved. Being in the presence of children makes me happy. I also chose this career because I know that when I wake up in the morning I will not dread going to work every day, I will gladly get up an strive to make a difference in their lives. I want to be an impact on as many of their lives as I can by being a part of their life and teaching them. I want to be someone they look up to, someone “who inspires and encourages us [them] to strive for greatness, live to our [their] full potential and see the best in [them]” (Teach). To become a teacher takes a lot of hard work and motivation.

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.

I have chosen to go into this field because I want to be one of those early childhood teacher that get children ready for important part of life. Having little cousins to watch growing up as well my own children and see them grow in their early education has shown me that I want to be part of that. I love the thought of being the first person to get the children started with their education by helping them along the way with fun filled classroom activities and games.

In my 24 years of experience employed with the Department of Education I have found that working with children watching as they grow is inspiring as much as it is rewarding. Teaching helps one to sharpen their skills on all levels for the curriculum is forever changing. Being an educator has its challenging moments but its something I want to accomplish. To be successful at educating others I must continue to grow, increase and improve within.

I was inspired to follow a career in teaching through my own experience of working in various teaching environments. Having been able to experience first-hand how great of an impact a teacher can have on the minds of young people, made me realise this is a career I wanted to pursue.

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

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.

Teaching has always been my passion. Since I was a child, I always knew I want to become a teacher. In elementary school, I used to play school with my brothers, in middle and high school, I worked at various childcare centers in Washington, D.C, and in college, I majored in Early Childhood Education. Once, I decided that I truly wanted to become a teacher, I knew I wanted to be a teacher in a D.C Public School (DCPS). As a graduate of DCPS, I specifically wanted to work with children who come from a similar background and environment. Specifically, I wanted to help create positive relationships between school, home and the community by understanding and valuing my students’ culture and community.

The big question teachers ask me throughout my life is “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I never had an answer to that. Going into college I didn’t have a set plan as to what career I would like to pursue. However, I knew that I wanted to work with kids; I originally wanted to be a pediatrician. That career choice was based on my family wanting me to be successful, so I put my passion for working with kids and their passion together. As I began to focus on what I want instead of what others want, I changed my major to Early Childhood Education and chose the path of teaching as my career choice. I have high hopes for this career because teachers are always needed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), the employment rate for my career choice will increase by six percent from 2014 to 2024. In this world, education is valued and will help put people many steps ahead. The reason why I chose to be an elementary teacher is because I want to be able to motivate and inspire my younger generations.

The community I was raised in was quiet and small; everyone knew of each other and of any changes in the community. Growing up in the same public school from K-12 allowed me to know most of my peers since elementary school. During my time in the same public school, I knew many of my teachers for years, each one inspired and influenced me in several different ways. However, they all inspired me to become a teacher and make my mark on a school community. I want to teach because I want to make a positive impact on students as well as the surrounding community. I believe being an educator is a highly rewarding profession in which I can see the changes I can make in others. I want to contribute to the betterment of society not only through my own students, but to their families and the surrounding community as well.
