Statement of Purpose to be a Disney Character or a Teacher

Brad Henry claims that “A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.” Teaching is something that I see as one of the most important jobs that you can have. Along with it being important, it is also rewarding and you’re helping people learn and take in information that will come in handy in the future. With my creative mind and kind-heart, majoring in Early Childhood Education and pursuing a career as a teacher will be enjoyable and is the perfect fit for me.

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

After doing my observations, I still want to become a teacher. Going into this class, initially I was hesitant and unsure if I wanted to pursue teaching, but after one full day of observing a kindergarten class I am sure this is what I want to do with my life. Seeing the children so excited to learn really made me happy, and I want to be able to encourage that excitement in children myself. I think teaching is a very important job, and thought it is a little scary how much responsibility the career is, I think I am up to the task. I would love to be able to know I am helping the world by teaching children and giving them knowledge they can use in life, and encouraging them to learn academics and about the real world so they can grow up and be successful adults and citizens. I really love working with children, and I think I would enjoy teaching them what they need to know.

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. I have chosen this career path because I am passionate about working with children, while they are developing their foundational skills. I believe that by receiving a high quality education; that goes beyond remembering and understanding, students can master the core material through analyzing and creating. This will give learners a strong base to build upon, setting students on the path to be successful in high school, and go on to be career and

I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.

When I was in elementary school I would spend most of the summer setting stuffed animals up on my bed to teach them all the math problems I had learned the previous year in school. In middle school my friends would come over and I'd teach them how to do cool tricks on the trampoline or how to draw bubble letters. Once I was in high school, I had more opportunities to work with children and I took them without hesitation. Since teaching is something I enjoy doing in my freetime I know it's something I would love to do as a career.

There are a vast amount of jobs that constantly cross my mind, but there is only one that I would have to consider calling my "dream job". My dream job is to one day become a course instructor for the Colorado Outward Bound School. Outward Bound is a character development school that uses high impact activities in a wilderness setting to teach human skills such as, leadership, communication, and teamwork. Current educational studies are showing the importance of character education and predicting people's successes. Not just predicting their success by what their salary is, but more like how likely they are to be in a healthy relationship, do they do work that they love, and

When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher. Anytime someone would ask me what I wanted to be, I would tell them that I wanted to be a teacher. I would also keep my worksheets and workbooks from school and teach my dolls. As I became older, I always kept that in my top jobs, but I would become less and less sure of it. When I had the opportunity of having Mrs. McGough as a teacher, my confidence about it went back up.

Becoming an educator is very important to me. Not only am I building a relationship with children, but I am also building their brains for success. Attending school helps build my future career path and gives me the understanding of children. The position in education I would like to have is becoming a first-grade teacher working at an elementary school. The school I plan to work for is a public school meaning students are acknowledge for their independence. In this school environment, it has a lot of excitement and motivation. I have visited the school many times, and it makes you feel like you are at home. This school also provides after-care for students who needs to be watched while their parents are at work or doing something important. The after care at the school provides free tutoring, educational games, and a snack. While furthering my investigation on this career, I feel this job is a good fit for me because it provides motivation and it acknowledges you as a person. It helps provide all the satisfaction needed and more. The staff is well mannered and the facility is always clean.

Every child at an early age has dreamed about being a teacher at one point of their childhood. I remember at six years old, I always believed that I was going to become a teacher, maybe even the best one in my six year old mindset. I would set up all my stuffed animals in a row, creating a school setting and I remember making spelling test for all my “students” across from me. After middle school that idea definitely did not come up again. Fast forwarding to now, my senior year of highschool, I realized that I wanted to become a Real Estate Agent or a Wildlife Biologist. Or maybe become a Wildlife Biologist and invest in real estate on the side. I believed that each job is very difficult but through hard work I hope I can achieve my goals

In the beginning, I wanted to become an elementary school teacher because I loved being around children. With children, I am particularly more patient and protective because I want them to feel safe. It was not until throughout middle school that I began to admire how teachers became role models for students. It was in my nature that I adored spending time with children; however, I saw that I did not have the same passion that teachers did towards education. At this point, I did not know many other career choices besides the careers I hear about the most, such as lawyers, doctors, firefighters, policemen, and more.

From the time I was in third grade, I wanted to be a teacher. I was so confident about my future career choice that I was often reminded that I was young and should explore other options as well. While I listened to the advice, my confidence never wavered. In fact, my desire to become a teacher grew stronger as I became older and gained more experience in educational settings.

Belle was kind to the Beast, and then she found her prince. It took courage to look into the eyes of someone that took away everything and see the good.

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.

Not many figures are as important and looked up to as much as Disney princesses to young children. From Ariel’s passion towards her dreams and Elsa’s independence, many girls have a dream from a very young age to become a Disney princess, find their Prince Charming, and live happily ever after.
