My Passion As A Teacher

My strengths in dispositions that will contribute to your success as a professional educator is being empathetic. I believe it is important to establish a relationship with every student in the classroom. I know I need to positively communicate and understanding with my students and learn to accept the diverse points of view of my students. A strength in my disposition is that I believe every student has worth and the ability to complete each task. I have positive expectations of my students and believe that they have the potential to do anything they try to. It will contribute to my success as an educator because my students will not feel that they cannot complete a task due to me. Due to my self-concept and having a positive aspect on life,

I have always wanted to become a teacher. From playing school with my little sisters, to volunteering a summer camps and elementary schools, there is not better feeling, to me, than to know that I have helped someone to accomplish a goal and develop better as a person. I think that there is no better way to impact the lives of other people than to become a teacher. As a teacher, not only will be able to affect the lives of these students from day t day, but I can also make an impact on the life of each child and hopefully their family as well.

These skills will transfer over to a school environment with my students as well. Collaborating with students will be very important in order to help them succeed. I believe I had good communication skills, which well help me to build and maintain a positive relationship with my students. By allowing my students to give feedback on issues in the classroom, I will be able to adapt lessons or other structures to their needs. Mostly importantly, listening and speaking to my students with respect will be a key guideline in promoting collaboration in the school

Growing up, I was always the student that struggled in school and I was constantly being pulled out of class for extra help. Through all of my struggles, I always had many teachers supporting and believing in me. If it were not for those teachers, I would not have been able to get to where I am today. For that reason, I went into teaching because I want to be there for my students just as my teachers were for me.

From the time of a young age I have been highly influenced by many teachers, this includes ones I have personaly had and ones I have had personal experences with. One of the most influential teachers I have met was my little brothers kindergarten teacher. Her name was Mrs.Moss and she worked at Welford Elementary. My brother and I are five years apart, he had just started school when I was finishing up elementary school. About this time is when I decided I wanted to become a teacher. She was very compassionet, dedicated to educating her students, and had a huge influence on me.

Knowledge is a very powerful thing, and to be able to deliver this to today’s youth has been a dream of mine for a long time. There are many advantages to teaching. I feel that is a very fulfilling profession. I have seen my sister in the classroom, and it greatly inspired me to want to make a difference in some ones life. Through watching my sister in action I was inspired to follow in her footsteps.

organisational as well as communication skills, which helped me throughout my role as a carer.

When I was a student in elementary school, my third grade teacher was my role model. Her passion and attitude towards teaching was always positive and inspiring. Even as a third grader, she motivated me every day to be a better person by her encouraging words, incredible knowledge and her kindness. This is where my excitement to become a teacher stemmed from.

One skill I have that I believe to be the most useful would be my dedication/motivation. When I set my mind on something, I do not stop until that task is done and it is done sufficiently. If something is left undone

Almost all little girls start their primary schooling years wanting to play school and wanting to learn. At home they act like they are teaching their own classroom and leading their group of students in front of them (most likely a stuffed animal), but their imagination, creativity, and eagerness to learn is at the peak when they begin their first day of school. Ever since that day I still want to be an educator and to make a difference in this field for the better. I have always found that the most intriguing thing for me in life is conveying knowledge and skills onto other people and watching in their eyes when the switch finally clicks that they understand what I have been trying to teach them. Knowing that the impact you made for just that short amount of time in that child’s life may never be forgotten.

I am from Venezuela and as most of a Latin-American young I dreamed of studying some day in any university of the United States, but while I was getting older my dream faded. Thus, I went to college in my country and graduated from it in 2000. Several years after, I got marriage and moved out to U.S. When I arrived here, a hot summer evening, that lost dream appeared in my mind again. But, this was far from being realized. I did not come to study; I just came with a work visa, which restricted me to working in a Hispanic church only. Through a little contact with English speakers, two years passed and my English remained worryingly basic; consequently, studying English become imperative. Added to it, in my heart burned a strong desire to become a professional here. Therefore, I have undertaken a long journey to learn English; from there, my passion for learning was born. I have developed that passion for the past nine years. Due to I “communicate primarily in Spanish” my learning journey would be no easy. (Lunsford). According to the Ex-president Barack Obama says in his inspirational speech “yes, we can”, the journal to reach a dream or fight for a cause would be hard, but a determined attitude leads people to overcome obstacles and achieve success. (Lunsford 123). As a result, my biggest obstacle is finding a balance between my job, my school, and my family life. I am a married woman with young children and a full time job. Currently, I am enrolled

When the word “math” is brought up in a conversation a majority of people cringe, it’s the hard truth. Math has been around since the dawn of man, and it is used in almost every career field. According to Merrilyn Goos, math “provides the fundamentals for everyday living” and is “a skill needed for many jobs” (2016). I, myself, have always had a passion for math ever since I was in grade school. I began to find math interesting when I could start applying it to various subjects in the real world, such as distance, area, volume, and velocity, to name a few. I decided to pursue mathematics in college, but I added a vital part to it, teaching. In high school, I was lucky enough to tutor my fellow peers through a National Honor Society program. When tutoring students from various grades, classes, and ethnicities, I found my passion for teaching. Believe it or not, I really enjoyed the students that struggled immensely with a subject. Nothing was better than witnessing the “light-bulb moment” when the subject finally clicked for one of these struggling students. Currently, in college my decided majors are Secondary Math Education B.S. and Mathematics B.A.

As a child my ideas about the future were never as far fetched as other kids my age. I never wanted to be a doctor, a princess, or even the President of the United States. Whether it was animals or people, the career paths that I chose always had something to do with caring for something in the long run. My first perspective career plan was to become a marine biologist. I had a deep love for the ocean and the animals in it and after the BP oil spill in 2010 my passion only grew larger. As time went on, I decided that I would rather work with people than animals. I decided that instead, I would rather be a teacher and eventually even a principal. School was a place that I could be myself. It was a place where I felt safe and taken care of. I wanted to be able to help other kids feel the same way about school that I did. In my opinion, that is what a school should be like for all students. It should be a place where students can put the world aside and focus on their education and future. Even today, I still have a strong passion for education even though I no longer want to have a career in the school system.

I have always admired the act of teaching. Even when I was in kindergarten the teacher would send letters home to my parents explaining that I would constantly attempt to take over the classroom. As I got older my habits only grew worse but always in a good way. In high school I would jump out of my seat every time a classmate would ask for help. It is an indescribable feeling to be able to use all of the information and knowledge I have gained through all of my hard work and to use it towards helping another person gain that knowledge and to watch them become more intelligent and more confident knowing that I was the one who guided them.

Like most students, I have changed my mind several times about which career to pursue. As a young child I imagined becoming a teacher. I loved helping others learn and discovering new ways to explain ideas. As a teenager I hoped to become a scientist so I could interpret new phenomena through research. The summer before my freshman year of college I bought an old psychology textbook at a bargain bookstore and knew I wanted to be a psychologist after reading the first chapter. My first semester I signed up for Psychology 101 and I’ve never looked back.
