Education has been my career choice ever since I began high school. Through the many years of experience education has allowed me to grow in knowledge, understanding, and professionalism. As I have earned a master’s degree and now on a journey to attain a doctorate degree, education is once again allowing me to develop and stretch myself even more. My family has always been supportive of my endeavors; of course while I was growing and developing into a young adult my parents had more of a voice in my decisions and would help point me in the right direction. As I matured my wife and children filled the role of being the supportive team that I relied on to keep me grounded. Disruptions of time spent together, activities attended by only one parent and at times dealing with a parent that was quick to anger because of a lack of sleep or dealing with stress of another homework assignment due date. There are times I am not engaged with my family and do not cope well with life’s challenges and I don’t approach the day very well (Boers, 2012). Along with supporting my educational desires, they have also supported my attempts to increase my salary by moving from the elementary school level to the high school level. My family had to learn to deal with a parent being away from home more in the evening because of the transition from one job to the other. In my present position as an assistant principal I am not comfortable sharing my deepest feelings with teachers.
Education has been an important part of my life since a very young age. Growing up I have always strived to do my best in school. In my sophomore year of high school I realized how important education was to me and decided that I wanted to be a teacher. From Elementary School to College I have always been close with my teachers and professors. I still visit and talk too many of them today, this made me realize that I wanted to be that teacher for my future students.
Education has played a major role in my life. Growing up I was fortunate enough to have been taught and guided by some truly inspirational teachers, and I appreciate the effect they have had on my life and the choices I made subsequently. My passion for working with students extends from my desire to emulate these role models and inspire others the way I was. This passion for being an educator/mentor has resulted in me having gained a lot of experience in education that will help me in this role as a UW Academy TA.
Education has been one of the ways I have been able to add competititive advantage in my personal life. Although there are other components critical to my personal success. These include: determination, willingness to learn, and dedication. Having a great job that reaps monetary rewards is great, however, there are other factors necessary to be successful. These include my value as a human being, what do I do for others, how I am with my family, who I am as a fiancé and
Education is something that I have always valued. My passion of learning has only intensified since I was younger. The constant challenge that comes with learning new things is how I know that I am bettering myself. I have always been a very self-dependant person, and education wizens me and allows me to make my own decisions.
No matter what family is always going to be there even if you don't want them. At the end of the day you can always rely on family to be by your side. “ The young man walks by himself, fast but not fast enough, far but not far enough” (1271). The young man he is walking but not quite getting to where he wants to go whether its not far, or fast enough family will be the extra boost you need to go faster and further. I have been sick and tired and just didn't want to go to school anymore. My parents are the ones that have kept pushing me to go. Hopefully next spring I will graduate and be the first person i in my family to gate a degree. This was Dos Pasos portrayal of how hard life was in the 1930’s. Today somethings are better and others are the same or worse. In life people can go down, but they can always come back
Education is not only for classroom purposes but it extends into the workforce because it is important to make a living. Education should help us appreciate life more by giving us the power to do things and have personal fulfillment. Developing a good education involves problem-solving, creativity, curiosity and criticism. I have learned that it is
Robert Louis Stevenson once said, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” Although education is one of the most challenging professions in the world, it is also one of the most rewarding because of the great responsibility entrusted to us. We have the opportunity mould the lives of our future leaders, plant seeds of hope in the hopeless, and inspire a generation of innovators.
Education is something that I have always valued. My passion for learning has only intensified since I was a child. I crave the constant challenge that comes with learning because it’s how I know that I am bettering myself. I have always been a very self-dependant person, and education
My mother and my aunts made sure that I graduated high school, completed college in four years, and finished graduate school. My mother believes that getting an education is the most important requirement to being successful. Some people, looking in from the outside, may feel that my family pushes me to hard; and when I was younger I thought the same thing. However, now that I am older I appreciate the push and constant motivation. If it was not for my family, I would not be where I am today. I have always wanted to follow in my aunts footsteps and become the second doctor in the family. Between her and my mother, they have support me financially and provided me with other necessities to continue to move forward. I have set my focus on many short term goals in order to reach my long term goals. There are days that I want to give up, but I know the hard work will pay off
People, myself included, often wonder what success is in terms of a career. Usually, students predict how they will accomplish their goals and want to feel what it would be like to be successful in a career. I believe education plays a huge part of that because it will help us realize our potential.The importance of education is derived from overcoming our personal obstacles, reaching the goals we set and thriving for success.
Entering into college, I wanted to do public health, but I wanted to be a doctor to please my father and to satisfy his hunger to have a doctor in his family. My father made sure his children went to college, and if they didn’t, it was clear they couldn’t stay in his house anymore. My parents struggled to support all of my siblings and supply each of us with everything we needed. I never realized the struggle until I got older and understood the value of money and time. My parents never wanted my brothers and I to work while we were in school, they wanted us to focus on our grades and activities that would help us get into college. Overall, the support from my family and seeing how hard my
Education is something that will teach one how to make good decisions. I believe in order for people to live and survive in this complicated world, they need education. Having a good education will make one look more professional because they will know what they are doing. Most importantly, it will earn one more money and in today’s world money is everything.
I am choosing education as a vocation because of the power that knowledge can have on this world. Education has the ability when utilized to give students options other than the ones taken by their community members. My George Fox education is helping me build up my skills to become an effective educator and a facilitator of learning. I am in the George Fox education department, which holds all of its students to having certain dispositions. These dispositions are made up of having integrity, courage, self-regulation, and seeking multiple perspectives. The reason why I believe it is important that educators try to possess and practice these dispositions is that they are what foster learning. I am taking what I am learning and looking toward
Throughout time, one career that has been a part of most societies is education. Education is a career that will always be needed. When choosing a career, many consider going into education. Education professor, Pam Grossman said, “Because all of us have spent thousands of hours in classroom observing teachers, we may underestimate the skill required to engage a group of children or adolescents and ensure that they are learning. Much of the teaching we do in everyday life, as parents or employers, involves telling or tutoring. As parents, we help children with math homework, test them on their vocabulary words, answer their questions. But teaching is much more than telling, and teachers have to know more than right answers,”
At present I do not have an absolute clear vision of myself in law but I hope to find a path of solicitor or mediator in contract law or human rights/criminal law related career. If I am unable for some reason to achieve it, I wish to build my future career in other field upon legal knowledge that I have obtained over the years. For example, a survey conducted by the Law Society among law students demonstrates that only 50% of respondents aspired to become a solicitor (others prefer barrister or undecided) . I am researching about solicitor path, which is the most popular career choice after graduation from law school, and their role is more appealing to me. My initial thought was to start from usher and work my way up to paralegal and then, if possible, to become a solicitor since they communicate directly with the clients.
