I have a lot of family and friends that are teachers or are retired teachers. I don’t remember a conversation I’ve had in the past 10 years of which a teacher was talking positively about his or her job, that they were inspired by what was happening in his or her school, that he or she was happy most days going to work. Are you a teacher? Are you happy in your job? Do you love working with kids, but frustrated by the system you work in? Do you wish there was a way to work with young people in a…
The first question many teenagers are asked at any social gathering or family party is, ‘what do you want to do when you graduate?’ For most adolescents, that question is the most dreaded part of any day. However, that stereotype doesn’t apply to me, as I had decided in the 10th grade exactly what I wanted to do in life. My future career goal is to be an English teacher for deaf students. My plan is based off of my interest in the deaf community and culture, my passion for English and love for…
For a while I have been thinking about what I want to go for. I came up with a few different options, however, one of them are early childhood education. Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to teach. So I think that this can be a great opportunity for me and that I will really love this career. For this career as a preschool teacher, I will major in Early Childhood Education. Preschool teachers teach children many basic skills that they will need to know for when they begin kindergarten.…
Whenever someone asks me what my major is, I get this euphoric feeling inside of me that cannot wait to explain to them that I get to be a teacher some day. I know that they will ask me why I want to be in school the rest of my life or how I will get by financially, but I will get to look them in the eyes and tell them my story on how it is so much more than that and why I am so in love with the idea of teaching. I strongly believe that teachers have the power to not only change the world, but…
I am applying for a PGCE teacher training course because I have always had an interest in working with young people within the education sector. Through voluntary experience I have been privileged to exercise my passion for helping the future generation achieve their aspired goals and potentials, as I was fortunate to have received this support during my own educational journey. I have always had a passion for teaching ever since I was little because I used to help my younger brother with his…
their day-to-day lives. After I graduate, my goal is to become an Elementary Teacher. As a teacher I will interact with my students, other teachers, administration, and my students’ parents/guardians. I think it is also important to know how to interact appropriately in the community as a teacher, as well. Using the belief that everyone is created in the image of God while interacting with people as a teacher is very important. The two example I am going to discuss that I think are the most…
nurse. I attended Medaille College in Buffalo, NY right after graduation . While there I knew that college was not for me plus I missed my family. So I decided to leave Buffalo and attend a trade school back home in Philadelphia. As I was attending trade school, I managed to get a part time job at a daycare. That is when I fell in love with the career of being a teacher. From there I changed my future profession from a nurse to an elementary teacher. I wanted to continue being a teacher so bad I…
As I write my last undergraduate journal many emotions run through my veins as I think about my past, present and future. The struggles over the five years I have spend educating me, Tiaira Greene to be a teacher, a special educator filled with promise of a better tomorrow. I know I can and will make a difference in that tomorrow. It brings forth shivers, warmth of passion, and that peculiar sensation of that unknown excitement that is soon to be before me. The fear of the unknown is just…
Why do I want to be a Teacher? Teachers have multiple roles in today’s society, and it is upsetting when the teachers out in classrooms do not want to be with their students. The way that teachers hold themselves in the classroom can deeply affect their education, as well as their self-worth from the time when they are in the teacher’s classroom further on, and so it is imperative that they desire to be with their students and desire to make a positive impact. This is one thing that I…
asks. I stare into her intent, keen expression as it bores into me. She is leant forward, on the edge of the armchair, facing me, while maintaining her friendly demeanor in tone, her expression remains unreadable. Her sudden undivided attention shines a bright spotlight on me and I know she is hanging on to every breath I take, before I even speak. The couch becomes a stage. However I saw this coming and had been rehearsing my act. I gush with enthusiasm and confidence as I exclaim that I am…
