Why I Should Become A Teacher

When asked why I want to be a graduate school teacher’s assistant (TA), my honest answer is the financial benefits. Being an out of state applicant, the financial responsibility is significantly higher. The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee is my dream graduate school. The clinical opportunities, unique elective offerings, and welcoming staff are only a few reasons why I am so drawn to this program. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have worked tirelessly to get to where I am today with selecting a graduate school. After working so faithfully for the past 4 years, I do not want to let financial liability stand in my way of committing to my desired school. Being a TA will provide me with the financial backing needed to make my aspirations a reality.

The issue of obesity has been ongoing in the American society for over a decade and there is much that can be done to fix it. As the great businessman Richard Attias said, “Obesity is a problem that nearly every nation in the world is facing, but there is much that we can do to fix it” (Attais). With very little progress being made to stop or slow it down in the present time, the focus should be shifted towards the future. America’s younger generation should be taught about health, nutrition and preventing major weight gain. Adding lessons and classes to the American public school system that pertain to these subjects would greatly benefit our society in the future. Educating students about nutrition and physical activities will make them more aware about their health and staying healthy. This will cause students to be more proactive by eating healthier and exercising frequently. As a result, there will be a decrease in obesity in our society as the younger generation grows up.

Are teachers doing their best to help students, should they even be paid? Teachers always a have a huge impact on people's future and life, for all the work they do for their students. Public school teachers get paid seventeen percent lower pay than a college teacher would.(Strauss 5). And most public school teachers work a second job to support themself and their family. The effects of strong teaching has a direct impact on the students, the quality of teaching, and the classroom’s environment.

In order to curb childhood obesity rates schools should focus on teaching children the importance of eating healthy. Obesity is largely caused by eating unhealthy foods, and unfortunately many children do not know what is bad for their bodies. Schools can help children with this problem by offering a nutrition class to all students. A class like this would greatly help children to fight obesity by teaching them to make healthy food choices. The class should focus on helping children to be confident with their own bodies, as well as helping them to make healthy food choices. This would help children to know what is good for them, and what

Why did I decide to be a teacher? One day as I was working as a cashier a first grader was telling me about her school and said their are a lot of insentives for going to her school. At first I thought this little girl could not possiblely know what the word insentives mean, so I ask her what insenives are there for going to your school and she told me that if she reads so many books they get prizes and treats. I was blown away not only did this girl know what insentives means but used it in a sentence and gave examples. It was that that moment I relized I wanted to teach children. In my school I felt like I didn't learn enough. I was labled slow and I feel I was gaven up on.

Many Americans are struggling with keeping a healthy weight, and this problem even is seen through this country’s children. Schools should educate children about obesity and the consequences it has on their bodies. Overweight children are more common in today’s society because of the bad choices parents and schools make toward feeding their children. When the time comes to make healthy decisions, children can make bad choices because of the influences brought on by their environments. Children need to be taught how to eat healthy and perform more exercises. Since children are in school many hours a day, the schools need to help end this problem by preparing healthier meals, encouraging students to exercise, and educating the students about the health problems related to obesity.

High schools today need to realize that the impact the faculty makes at schools impacts their life at home. This is why learning key skills to being healthy should be more prominent. The United States has an extreme obesity problems, which leads to nutritional deficiencies, diabetes, and heart disease. All these issues can be helped and sometimes solved by healthy eating and exercising. School systems spend thousands of dollars on making sure kids eat nutritional meals while they’re at school. This however, does no good in helping students to continue eating healthy once they go home if they’re not taught what is beneficial for their bodies at school. Many schools do not even teach basic cooking skills. Most people would agree that one necessity to life would be food and its pretty important to be able to cook it. Doing this will teach students how to cook something other than Ramen Noodles, and something much healthier. Exercise is something many in the United States have let take a back burner. Everyone should be getting an hour of physical activity a day, which does not occur as often as it should.

It is work –related purpose to enter the Provincial Instructor Diploma Course. I am part-time instructor assistant for Deaf and Hard of Hearing program (DHH) at Vancouver Community College. I have worked with varied students – deaf, hard of hearing, deaf with disabilities. All of those adult students from full diversity of different sector and different religions in existing country. Not only that, some of students are fortunate enough to have already attended schools for the deaf in their home countries, and others may have had no education at all and arrive knowing gestures. Plus, those of whom from different countries and various education backgrounds from beginning to advance level in both American Sign Language and English. I find it challenge to work with deaf immigrant adults. Thus, I expect the course foundation of adult learning will help me better understanding of adult’s learning style, how to motive student’s learning, also memory and intelligence.

I chose this career because I believe that I would like this career and I think I would do very well as my friends and teachers say. I expect to learn more things in life, education, and myself. I say life because I would be doing something I like and teaching kids and telling them about the adult life so when they get to that point in their life, majority would be ready. I say education because I would be teaching and I can learn something from others and the children as well. I say myself because I think it would help me be a better and encouraging person. I used the internet as my source. I used different websites throughout the career research. In my education and training for this teaching career, I need a few important things, like to finish high school with a diploma. I need to enroll in college, finish college, go at

There are a large number of teachers in my life, nearly all my aunts and a large part of my social circle are teachers, instructors, and professors, and some of my role models happen to be teachers as well. While discussing my thoughts and feelings on what I should do for my second career, and where I should do it, with my family and friends, I was asked, “why not teach?” I have a passion for working with people and genuinely care about their success. One of my classmates told me that she thought I would excel at being a teacher since I have the ability to clearly and comprehensibly explain concepts, how to complete assignments in a way that maximizes learning, and because she found my enthusiasm for our course topics motivating. I am also an avid traveller; I have travelled through over 15 countries and have lived in two countries outside of Canada/North America. In reflecting on what I should do next, and where I should do it, it seems that combining teaching and travelling into my next career phase is a natural next step.

Children are with teachers the majority of the day. Children are influenced by what they see and why they are around. Not only are they teaching them academics, but also manners, sportsmanship, and self worth. These are important factors that children need in everyday life. This is why a teacher’s job is so important. Most would say that teaching would be a hard job. But, I feel that it will be easy if you win your students over. I know that the rewards in the end will out weigh the cost. Watching a student master a new task is the reward I am after.

This is also the time when everything little matters. From having dramatic play to playing in centers, this is where it begins, giving the children a sense of comfort as well as love to make them feel comfortable. This is the beginning of a lifelong adventure that one teacher can change a student’s life forever. Giving them all the knowledge and power needed to move on. I believe that’s why I chose the field of Early Childhood and family education, because I want to be the one who gets the first impression of many impressions of teachers. I want to be the teacher that along each child’s journey they look back and say Ms. Nelson was the first to help me spell my name or the first to help me learn my colors.

“A role model is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness, live to our fullest potential and see the best in ourselves. A role model is someone we admire and aspire to be like. Dictionary.com”. My teachers of every grade growing up from kindergarten to senior year of high school, were always and will always be my role models. They taught us the basic academics to basically, survive the next year of school and so on and so forth. My teachers taught me how to count, how to read, because all my mother did was work. I felt like my teachers growing up were my mothers
