Teacher As A High School Teacher

I’ve always aspired to be a teacher. Growing up I wasn’t the smartest kid, and honestly my teachers weren’t very much help with that. Truly, as a struggling student I felt that when I had a bad teacher, there was no chance for me. So ever since I was young, I wanted to grow up to be that change, I didn’t want any struggling student to feel like I did.

You might ask, “Why would you even want to be a teacher?” Well, I surveyed a current teacher and was genuinely pleased with the responses that I received. I asked her what the main reason was on why she chose to pursue teaching, and she responded that she likes being a role

Teaching and guiding others have come naturally as long as I can remember, and I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life; sometimes a field or a profession calls a certain type of person, and I definitely am drawn to a path in education. Nothing gives me more satisfaction, and can create more of a positive effect in our society. My passion is teaching and I want to change the lives of students across the board, but mostly those who live in poverty and have not possessed the same opportunities as

I wanted to become a teacher because I enjoy serving others, and as a lawyer I have the gift of talking too much. Teaching is so rewarding and gives me a sense that I am making the world a better place one student at a time. I feel proud of my students that always remember me as their teacher, even when they are in college, they pass by the school to see me or if they meet me on the street or any other location, they approach me and show gratitude and that is priceless!

want to be a teacher becuas I want to make a difference in the lives of as many students as I can.I have had much experience working with children- from vacation bible study teacher, bible study teacher, to youth leader for the young adult choir.These responsibities have helped me realize my love for children. All these experiences have impacted my work ethic and helped me develop habits of patience, a professional attitude , and a desire to work

Upon first entering college, I struggled deciding at such a young age what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Through babysitting and volunteering with pre-school aged children at my church and through a school program called STARS, it became evident to me I had a love for helping children. It fascinated me to see how they viewed the world around them and how quickly they learned new truths everyday. Nevertheless, I knew I would not get the full enjoyment interacting with children as a schoolteacher because the teacher to student ratio is so large. Classroom demands would make it much more difficult to devot individualized attention to each student, and I did not like that concept. So

If I had the ability to not worry about how much I bring home a week, and the ability to have any job in the world knowing my kids would get fed and they could get what they desire, I would be a teacher. Teaching isn’t a bad job but I want more of a safe guard when it comes to money and my job. I don’t know how much longer they plan to keep teachers around with technology growing. However I have always wanted to teach because of three major reasons. First would be that I would want to help our younger kids grow to be smarter than myself and my generation. Secondly I would like to help the students build their community, inside the classroom and outside in the real world. Lastly I also want to be involved in school sports. It would be a time consuming life however I believe it’s worth the time and effort.

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

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.

I choose this job because I love to help children but I like older kids. I thought I would be fit for this job because I love teaching anybody at anytime. I know that being a teacher can be very difficult but also very fun to teach students to prepare for high school. I want to learn what all goes into being a teacher other than what you see in the classroom.

People then, as much as today, had different ideas about what the purpose of secondary education should be, and as result they differed in their opinions regarding what should be taught to students in high schools. Before the era of Urbanization and Industrialization, secondary education was seen as a means to prepare students for college and for moral development. However, by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, America had changed. High schools were educating many students who

There are a lot of questions I ask to myself as I process the thought of becoming a teacher in today’s society. One of the questions that comes to mind are the students going to be students that want to learn and take the information that is being taught and use it to improve their lives or to further more learning? Are the students going to be willing to learn or are they just there because someone requires this of them? Figuring out the pros and cons of why to become a teacher is going to take a lot more thinking than here you go, and here’s a classroom full of students that are willing and enthusiastic about learning.

The big question teachers ask me throughout my life is “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I never had an answer to that. Going into college I didn’t have a set plan as to what career I would like to pursue. However, I knew that I wanted to work with kids; I originally wanted to be a pediatrician. That career choice was based on my family wanting me to be successful, so I put my passion for working with kids and their passion together. As I began to focus on what I want instead of what others want, I changed my major to Early Childhood Education and chose the path of teaching as my career choice. I have high hopes for this career because teachers are always needed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), the employment rate for my career choice will increase by six percent from 2014 to 2024. In this world, education is valued and will help put people many steps ahead. The reason why I chose to be an elementary teacher is because I want to be able to motivate and inspire my younger generations.

Teachers have been trained on creating effective teaching methods to assist their students in building their knowledge in preparation for college. Teachers are limited on what they teach therefore it’s hard to keep a student's attention at times. Teachers can have an impact on their students lives and play an ambiguous role. Teachers help their students by creating a base of knowledge and train their students to focus on learning by giving them guidance and support. Teachers are free to have conversation regarding your work before, during, or after class They have meetings with you and your parents to discuss your progress in their class, and what you could do to improve. Teachers make sure you are aware of your grades at all times. Throughout the school year, a highschool teacher will remind you about the requirements of an essay or a project, and drill the due date in your head. Teachers will sound like a broken record reminding you of incomplete work until you turn it in. They hound at you to get everything done on time. If you miss the due date however, most high school teachers will negotiate with you. When it comes to notes or

Teaching has been my main career since I have graduated from high school and I have never regretted a day of it. My first taste of teaching was during my Senior Year in High School when I was a part-time teacher’s assistant. A few weeks after I graduated, I boarded a jet, bound for a place which I had never been to before. It is the “Isle of Spice” otherwise known as Grenada, which is an island located in the Caribbean. Its population is approximately 110,000. I then began my new job as a Kindergarten Teacher. Practically a kid myself, there I was attempting to teach kids, while learning a different dialect of English and adapting to a new culture. It was a journey and after getting over homesickness and gaining more experience, I grew to love it! It has since become my passion, hence leading me to believe it is the best career choice I could ever make.
