Why I Would Become A 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.

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!

I have chosen to become a teacher because I myself am a product of someone whom I consider to be the best teacher in the world. As a child in Virginia, I was inspired by a wonderful coach and

I believe that I can better my students and help them have a successful future, starting out with me as their teacher. Looking back I can remember specific activities from those years; how school was a fun place to be and where the learning areas of the class were also enjoyable times. These are experiences I would like my students to look back on and remember and cherish about their time in my classroom. By creating those lasting impression, I think that I can make student’s futures brighter and better because they enjoyed what they were

I got into the education profession because several of my relatives are teachers. Growing up, I would always hear stories of how a student succeeded in their class and it not only made the student happy, but the teacher felt like they accomplished the world as well. I want to have that feeling in my future classroom, the feeling of helping a child accomplish something that they don't understand or struggle with, or exceed their goals that they have set for themselves.

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.

Of all the professions that are available, why did I decide to seek a degree in education? The reason I am aspiring to become a teacher is because of my personal experience as a student. My first day in kindergarten was quite memorable. I walked into a classroom not knowing English. The language barrier hindered my ability to learn the material that was being taught by the teacher. Even though I struggled in school, I was fortunate to have great teachers. Each teacher made a profound impact on my life. As a future educator, my dream is to have the same impact on my own students.

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 strive to make my students feel like they are apart of a safe, fun learning environment and I continue to let them know that I’m on their team. My success comes when I know I they have achieved the goals that I’ve implemented for them on an academic and personal level. I feel that I am effective when I see that my students are learning and progressing at the appropriate levels and beyond. I look forward to those “light bulb” moments. As an educator, I am assisting in setting them on a path to success in school and in life. Teaching allows me to share my love for learning with young minds and help students discover their

As a teacher, I want to make an impact on someone’s life. I know this will be a huge accomplishment, and I will get to experience this everyday. On an ordinary day, I will teach lessons on math, English and social studies, but I will also serve as a role model for my students. I will live my life in a positive manner and show my students that through hard work, success can happen. In addition, I will create meaningful lessons that address many different learning styles in the classroom. I know that I will have students with diverse learning styles, and I want to create lessons that can highlight their strengths.

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.

School is a major part of our young lives. It is where we spend the majority of our time as youngsters. Children begin to develop relationships with people who have not been apart of their infancy. For someone who does not enjoy school, this could put a damper on their relationships with others as well as their learning achievements in life. This is why I want to become a teacher. I want to develop a learning atmosphere where children feel joy and security.

When it comes to my reasoning for entering the teaching profession, I think it stems from my own experiences within American schools. I have had profound teachers who have inspired and motivated me to continue to work towards preserving the ideas and beliefs that strengthen education. On the other hand, I have had subpar teachers who have influenced me to teach for alternate reasons. They have shown me that reform and change are needed to bring our education system back to the top, and I would love nothing more than to play a role in that transformation. While they may be contradicting ideas, the great, and the not so great, teachers in my past have pushed me to enter the teaching profession.

Teaching has a different level of meaning for everyone. We all have different reasons for why we want to be in the teaching profession and why we love teaching. I am becoming a teacher for many reasons. I am becoming an early childhood teacher because I had two wonderful teachers that inspired me in many ways. These two teachers always had a smile on their face and most importantly you could tell they loved their job. I created a relationship with them as I grew through my schooling and I stll have that with them today. I want to have the same impact on children as these teachers did on me. I also want to become a teacher because I love helping and teaching children. Teaching is important to me because I want to make a difference with young children. I want to help them grow as students and make them ready for the next chapters in their life. For me, the first-third grade was a great part of my schooling because my teachers really helped me advance in my academics and I created a long lasting relationship with them.

From the time I was a seven years old till the current day, as a Sophomore at Benedictine University, I have wanted to become a teacher. The four years of high school, Oswego High School, I truly become passionate to become a teacher. I took the necessary general education classes, and my elective classes learning about child development and early childhood education. Once I graduated high school, I felt confident to become a teacher, but I discovered that special education was what I truly wanted to do. From the first day or first grade up to now, I have become a success student, which I can’t wait to become teacher I want to be an aspirational teacher one day to my future students.
