I Want To Becoming An Elementary Teacher

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.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve known what I wanted to do. I am one of those people who was blessed enough to realize my passion at an early age. As far back as I can remember, I’ve wanted to become a teacher. I can remember as a child sitting in my room, surrounded by my stuffed animals (or students, as I saw them) and forcing my younger brother to sit still and quietly do the work I assigned him. I even had two baskets which I kept on my little wooden desk; one for my “students” to turn in work, and the other for more work which needed to be graded. I spent many afternoons

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.

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

Upon first entering college, I struggled deciding at such a young age what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Through babysitting and volunteering with pre-school aged children at my church and through a school program called STARS, it became evident to me I had a love for helping children. It fascinated me to see how they viewed the world around them and how quickly they learned new truths everyday. Nevertheless, I knew I would not get the full enjoyment interacting with children as a schoolteacher because the teacher to student ratio is so large. Classroom demands would make it much more difficult to devot individualized attention to each student, and I did not like that concept. So

It has been my dream since Elementary School to become an Elementary School teacher. The decision to attend college has not always been an easy decision. I have many goals to obtain my college degree. I have had many conversations about attending college. Some conversations being very helpful and persuasive, some being very negative and nerve wrecking. The school that I chose to attend in the end was Alabama State University. I promised myself that this school will make me the best teacher since I chose my favorite teacher.

Growing up, I went through the teacher phase, just like every other kid, where I lined up my stuffed animals and had a whiteboard in the front of the room. I eventually did move past that stage of childhood ambitions and moved on to things I thought were bigger and better. However, as I grow older I find myself going back to teaching as a serious career option, especially in a high school setting. I grew up in a family of teachers, all four of my grandparents and my mom worked as a teacher at some point in their life. I feel like teaching would give me an opportunity to impact many lives and see a lot of kids do some wonderful things. High school teachers not only get to help students learn, as do elementary teachers, but get to help them move onto their next stages of life. I believe if I only get to help one student do something great, all the work and efforts will be worth it. All the hours of grading papers, planning lessons, and dealing with 120 different teenagers throughout the day will have meant something after all.

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

Throughout my life, I attended a very small school. My teachers I had have been the ones that inspired me to become a teacher. I was inspired to become a teacher by my sixth-grade teacher, Mrs. Haney. She taught me that no star was too hard to reach. She made me believe that if I put a goal in my mind, that I could tackle it and that I could make it. Before I had her class, I really didn’t have any self-confidence. However, while I was in my class, she made my self-confidence boost. This wonderful person that was a part of my life has lead me to make the decision of become a teacher.

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.

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.

I want to become a teacher because I believe that all students are unique in their own way. I want to teach because I want to know that I am making a positive difference in the lives of students. Also, because teaching will allow me to connect with students in ways I've never been able to. I've always felt joy when I am around kids, it brings a sense of excitement. To me it is not simply a job but instead a purpose and my mission. I believe teachers should not be alone in educating their students. Parents, families and communities need to work together to support and enrich the lives of their children. By being a part of your child's education, you are showing them that you care and support them.

From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Throughout my years in school, I quietly observed the teachers I had starting in about 5th grade. I listened to their words of wisdom, picked up on their classroom management techniques, and admired their work as they taught us the skills we’d later need in life. While I was in school, I had two teachers who stood out to me the most. They stood out not only in terms of effective teaching, but also as great influences and people in general. They made a point to connect with their students inside and outside of the classroom, and I will always hold both of them dear to my heart.

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.

I can’t believe you have made it this far! Just three years ago, you were a junior in college suffering through one of the hardest semesters in college. It probably seems like a far away thing now but it was hard. But you made it through and that is all that matters. You are now done with your first year of teaching! Congrats! You finally made it to where you want to be. Now, the real joy begins. Do you remember why you wanted to become a teacher? If you can’t remember, I will remind you. It all started when you were in elementary school with Melanie teaching you some lessons on the whiteboard. Mostly, she taught you math and the most salient problem that I remember her teaching is the Pythagorean Theorem. I don’t know why that stuck out to me the most but that is my earliest memory of thinking I wanted to be a teacher. I loved learning and I always wanted to be on the other side of the board and teach instead of learn. Sometimes, she let me ‘teach’ her but it was mainly things she already knew and just pretended not to because she was three years older than me. My love for teaching just continued throughout my school years, as I happened to be quite proficient in math. Because of this fact, I ended up helping other classmates when they didn’t quite understand what was going on. I loved seeing their faces light up when I was able to help them understand. Most of the time, they just needed a little extra push or they just needed it phrased in a different way. When I was a
