Persuasive Essay About Becoming A Teacher

I wrote this inspirational memoir to persuade the negative thinking substitute teachers to embrace a keen pride of their role as a professional substitute teacher.

For me, the decision to become a teacher is more of a way of life than a career. I have always loved school, practicing at being school marm from a young age, and voraciously devouring every shred of education offered me in my career as a student. If it were possible, I would be a student for the rest of my life. And then I still would not have learned enough. As a teacher, I hope to instill this appetite for knowledge in secondary students. They are, after all, the future leaders of the world, and what better place to expand the minds of the generations to come than here in Appalachia where education programs, especially the sciences, which I plan to teach, are poorly funded and children’s dreams

I am currently a Kindergarten teacher at Our Lady of Trust Academy. Although it is a wonderful private institution, my goal is to teach at a public school.

Going into the field experience, I wanted to become a teacher. As the weeks went on, I started questioning if this is what I really wanted to do. Teachers spend hours coming up with lesson plans and going to meetings. They also have to find ways to make lessons fun so the students pay attention. I realized that teachers also have to put up with a lot of students and it is hard for them to not yell and get frustrated. Just observing the teacher and how she handles the class seems really stressful and tiring. Even though teachers go through a lot, there is also a positive side to it.

Once you get through the tough stuff, the career is filled with immeasurable rewards. Being an elementary school teacher is not just going into a classroom and teaching kids how to add numbers, where something is on a map, or how to write.

Going into the teaching profession has been my passion for quite some time now. Although teaching can have many different stereotypes and misconceptions, I still choose to continue towards this career. Every job has it’s own stereotypes and misconceptions. I currently work at a school, which has offered me a lot of on the job training for my future career. My current job has allowed me to see the different stereotypes and misconceptions that come along with the teaching career field. I am fortunate to already be working in my career field so I can prepare for the future stereotypes and misconceptions when I am a teacher of my own classroom.

Choosing a career is not an easy task. As a child, I never knew what I eventually wanted to grow up to be, but in the back of my mind I would always say a teacher because I come from a long history of teachers in my family. One of my grandpas was a high school math teacher along with coaching the football team. My aunt is an elementary school substitute teacher specializing in special needs students, while my uncle is a high school history teacher. While, my father is a physical education teacher who has taught at both the elementary and high school level. Growing up around so many teachers made me think I was destined to be a teacher, although at the time, I was not passionate about it, until my senior year of high school. Senior year I decided to take a child development course where I had the opportunity to volunteer daily at an elementary school. I quickly fell in love with the students and decided that inspiring young children to succeed was my calling. It was this opportunity that made me decide that becoming a teacher was my destiny. Last year I declared as a Child and Adolescent Studies (CHAD) to peruse my dreams of becoming a teacher

Teaching is the greatest profession in the world! I discovered I wanted to be a teacher while working as a Speech Assistant in the public schools. It is amazing to watch students learn. I adore the feeling of energy that comes from kids. Teaching helps build a positive future for everyone, and I love being a part of it.

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.

Education in the United States has always been a debatable topic, an issue that is constantly being discussed asking how can we improve the education system? A system that many believe is broken, a system that impacts students and teachers all around the country, however, it is a system that does not affect those who were fortunate enough to cause a drastic call for change. Overall, there are many issues and programs involving education, and if there were three that I would advocate for to improve teaching as a profession, it would be, improving the cultural diversity training, increasing teacher’s salaries, and adjusting the curriculum.

One of the best ways someone can determine if they really would like to go into a certain field is by simply observing and talking to does already in that career. This is fairly important for a future teacher because even if you don 't realize it as a student, teaching is one of the most difficult jobs that requires a lot of patience and determination in oneself. While observing big diverse classrooms of students who have various levels of knowledge on the subjects and having the teachers trying to reflect the learning styles of all the students through the curriculum I noticed one thing they try their hardest to help every single one of those students. I have learned so much so far on many different aspects of teaching while observing these summer teachers at school Plummer Middle School.

Making a career choice can often be a tormenting decision, and many people choose a profession or line of work that may not satisfy their creative abilities, but only pays the bills. I have known, specifically since the first day I spent in kindergarten class, that my purpose is to teach, and for that knowledge I am especially fortunate. The philosophies that I support have been part of my educational beliefs and standards for the majority or my lifetime, and are qualities that, I feel, make an effective and touching teacher.

My whole childhood I always dreamed about being a teacher. During school breaks, weekends, and summers, I would set up a “classroom” in my basement and my friends and I would play school. I would be the teacher most of the time. It takes a very special person to be a teacher, not everyone is teacher material. You have to be very patient, kind, and caring of all students you work with and encounter through your day and year.

With all the free public schools available to everyone and the amount of knowledge anyone in USA can receive, just fewer than 20% of all high school graduates do not have even the basic reading skills (Lake). Sadly, this has been a problem for a decade now and has not improved in any way. Thirty-two million adults in the USA cannot read (“Illiteracy Rate”)! This is not talking about getting a higher education or even graduating high school; it is talking about reading, the essential of life. What is the use of having a high school diploma if one can barely read what it says, not even going to the extent of understanding the vocabulary on his diploma (Lake)?

Since getting a higher education is no longer a priority for most people living in the USA, education in our country should be raised to a higher level.
