Why I Want to Be 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.

Throughout my undergraduate career, I have worked tirelessly to get to where I am today with selecting a graduate school.

Being a TA will provide me with the financial backing needed to make my aspirations a reality.

I was 5 years old ready to take on the world with my Blue’s Clues backpack. It was the first day of kindergarten and I walked into a class room that had red animated apples on the walls, and letters boarding the top of the walls. My teacher seems so happy to see all the kids coming into the class and you could tell that many of us were nervous to be there, and be away from our parents for half of the day when we were used to being at home.
