My Goal Of Majoring In Early Childhood Education

Early childhood education is concerned with the learning experiences of children below the age when compulsory schooling begins (usually age five or six). In terms of organized educational programs, it generally encompasses kindergartens (enrolling mainly five-year-olds) and prekindergarten’s and preschools aimed at children starting at about age three (Hansen, Walsh, Liebovich, & Myers 2002). To become a teacher or teacher’s assistant in early childhood education one must obtain a degree. The salary of the positions in Early Childhood Education varies depending on the amount of experience and education a person has. To hold a position in Early Childhood Education an individual must have the patience, drive, and love to work with kids. A person applying

I have had a lifetime goal to attend college, it just didn’t happen early in life. When I first came to CCU, there was no doubt that getting my bachelors in early childhood would be my major. My passion has always been young children. It started when I babysat as a young teenager and has continued in my life as a preschool teacher. Education is constantly changing: therefore, I feel I need to have more knowledge and wisdom to be the best teacher possible. Education is by far one of the most important tools to have a successful life. With diligence, I want to be a leading educator and to be a gateway for my students to learn. It’s exhilarating how many lives a teacher will touch each day. A teacher has the power to reach out and make learning a positive and memorable experience for every child. Furthermore, teachers are one of the first caregivers for young children. Although I am not at the beginning of my career, while at CCU, I will grow in faith, help and learn from others, and strive to graduate with honors.

With this calling to be a teacher I want to attend Appalachian State University and gain my bachelors degree in education so I can teach and impact children in a positive way. I can contribute certain qualities to the Appalachian Community like my good leadership skills and being a good listener. I can help other students with their problems by listening to them and then use my discernment to lead them in a positive decision. I love the feeling of teaching someone in a way that they can teach others. I believe that when you feel confident in yourself it makes you feel special, and that is what I want to do for people. I want to lead people into feeling confident and letting them know that they are special, because once you know that you are worth so much, you can succeed in so many ways. I want to be a good role model for my peers and future students and I think that Appalachian would be a great place for me to proceed with these

My major of interest is pre-nursing. I aspire to be an Obstetrician Gynecologist, upon completing undergraduate school. I am aware that over the long course of several hundred years humans have developed and evolved in various ways, I am interested in the role that evolution has played in living organisms. I chose my topic because I am interested in how evolution has been perceived by scientist and how it still remains as only a theory. The knowledge and understanding I will gain from reviewing this topic will be beneficial to my studies and future career choice. My paper will primarily focus on gaining the answer to the questions: How was the earth formed? Why does Evolution seem to be the most logical? How can you prove creation or evolution? Those few questions have mystified humans, especially biological scientist for eternities. There are two main theories that explain how the earth was created. These are the theories of evolution and creation. Evolution and creation are seen from two opposing viewpoints. The theory of creation has been separated into different groups. There are many various beliefs behind the creation theory but, individuals who are religious and believe in divine beings seem to accept the biblical creationist as one of most accepted forms of the creation theory. Biblical creationists

I believe that as an early childhood educator my goal will be to promote the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child. I also believe that play should be the base of learning since children learn best by doing. I believe that a balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities is essential balance can be developed by using the developmentally appropriate practice approach, which means that activities should be “appropriate for each child and relevant to the child’s ability, needs and interests, also including the child’s family and being respectful to the child’s culture.

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.

My journey to become a teacher started ten years ago. I earned my associates degree from Chemeketa Community College, while supporting myself financially with both part and full-time work, and also serving in the Oregon National Guard. Over the next two years, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Warner Pacific College, and worked as a substitute para-educator in multiple school districts. I am now on track to earn my Masters of Education in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University, which I am currently enrolled. I have maintained a 3.97 GPA without incurring any student loan debt.

As a young child growing up in Africa, I always dreamed of obtaining the best education and becoming a lawyer someday. But all of a sudden everything changed. Living with my grandmother and growing up with other children, my love for kids grew each and every day. I found myself always caring for people especially kids. Thus, making me more interested in Pediatric Nursing. Nursing is one of the noble careers which allows you to be there for others, to comfort them, to save lives, and to bring smiles unto the faces of people. That is what I dream of achieving. In my Psychology class, I learned that when diagnosing a patient, nurses take into consideration not only the physical state of the patient but also their mental state, because this is

I first became interested in teaching in my sophomore year in high school. My inspiration came from three amazing teachers who showed passion for their subject matter as well as a love for teaching. My desire to become a teacher was amplified by the many leadership and teaching roles that I took on while I was in Boy Scouts. While teaching in Boy Scouts I learned that teaching was what mattered most to me. Under my leadership, I helped advance many scouts to the rank of Eagle Scout as well as winning multiple awards at every summer camp that we attended. This was my jumping point into enrolling in Old Dominion University’s education program.

I am writing to apply for the position of Assistant Professor in Education at Florida Southern College. I earned my PhD in curriculum and instruction at the University of Wyoming in May of 2017, where I also served as an instructor of math and science methods, seminars, and educational assessment. I also hold a Master’s Degree in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis in elementary education. I am applying for the position due to the college’s excellent reputation as evidenced by its myriad awards and the college’s excellent student to faculty ratio. I am also eager to forge collaborative relationships with new colleagues and add to my research concerning international students’ experiences and cultural competence of pre-service teachers.

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.

At Mead High School there is a program that allows high school junior and seniors to be able to tutor kids at the elementary school. This is a unique program that I decide to join because I saw it as a way to pay it forward to the school I once went to. On the first day, I was paired up with Mrs. Blick who teaches kindergarten and after lunch drove to the elementary school to meet the class I was now helping. I never realized how much fun it would be to help the kids learn to read, write, and do math. My time spent in the classroom is one that I never want to take back. The time I spend with the kids in this community and in my kindergarten classroom has helped shape my future even more. I have decided that I want to minor in teaching along with psychology so that I can help kids and in a way, they will also help

I did not previously intend to graduate early but due to circumstances beyond my control, I decided it would be best for me to use the time I would spend in my second semester working and setting aside money for college. I had most of my graduation requirements completed from my previous high school and by the time I enrolled in my current high school many of the classes I had planned to take were already filled.

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

I am applying to be a teacher assistant for the 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Dickson. The reason I want to become a TA is because I think I would like to become a teacher. By watching and assisting the teacher this would allow me to have hands on experience. I think this experience would help me to decide if becoming a teacher would be a good fit for me.
