Why I Want To Be A Teacher

796 Words4 Pages

Why am I here you ask? I am here for many reasons. All of the reasons of why I am here, working my way up to be a teacher, make me who I am and I am proud of it. To help get a better understanding of who I am and why I am here. The first day of summer after my Kindergarten year I went home and set up a classroom of my own and pretended I was a teacher. Since that day I have always known I’ve wanted to be a teacher and that is part of the reason of why I am here. As I grew up and my family members started having children of their own, I really began to find some of who I was and the answer to the why of why I wanted to be a teacher. Being around kids, even though at the time I was a kid myself, I learned that I had a special connection and patience with them. When I became old enough to babysit I couldn’t get enough of it. I loved being with children and helping them learn and grow. When I graduated High School I got a job at a Daycare, which I still work at today. That was when I really knew that being a teacher was the ultimate goal and I was determined to make it happen. …show more content…

    I had ideas, but I didn’t have anything I was extremely passionate about yet. My junior year, while I was going through a rough patch in my life, I started to work at a daycare to get my mind off things and make a couple extra dollars. After only a couple shifts at the daycare, my passion was incredibly clear… teaching children. I was able to help children who needed me and it made me feel an incredible sense of worth at a time when I felt worthless. The way their problems were so small, the way they smile endlessly, and the way they were so innocent and untouched by the troubles of the world made me want to always be around them.

  • Why I Want To Go To College?

    437 Words  | 2 Pages

    I can honestly say that the reason I want to go to college is because this is going to be the last time before I enter the work force that I can be intellectually and academically challenged, where I can learn much about all the things I wanted to learn about, with friends who were as dedicated to learning and the pursuit of knowledge as I am. I often feel a lack of knowledge about something--colleges might call it "intellectual curiosity," but it 's that sense that you learn something, but you don 't feel that you 've learned it fully. I don 't know if people reading this know what I mean. For instance, after I took my AP Calculus class I loved calculus, and I didn 't feel that one year of it was enough. That drove me to go out and learn more about calculus on my own, but it would be much better to share that experience with others.
