So, I Want to be a Teacher

Emily Brown EDUC 250 C Julia Rheaume Assignment One January 17th, 2012 So, I Want to Be a Teacher Everybody is good at something. Everyone cannot be good at everything. If we were all good at everything then we would not appreciate the things in life that we cannot do. For example, if everyone was amazing at singing as Adele, and everyone released an inspiring album, talented artists would lose their appeal. Singing would lose its ‘wow’ factor; making music as melancholy as a shingle on a building. Some of us are made to become teachers. Some of us are not. I believe that when one is completely passionate about wanting to become something, and has found that this is their purpose in life, so it must be. I have changed my mind several times about what I want to do with my career. I started with wanting to teach, switched to music recording, nutritionist, full time traveler, I even considered skiing professionally. My conclusion ended right where it started; I want to teacher. Why? I want to work with kids and positively influence their lives. I want to love of these kids. I want to help encourage these kids to be self‐motivated, self‐confident and to love themselves and others. I want to be a role model in children’s lives and be approachable when a student is having a difficult time in life and doesn’t have anyone else to turn to. Growing up, I had several careless teachers. They even voiced allowed they didn’t know what they wanted to do with their lives, and in doubt became teachers. This doubt is not the right reason. Even if I only get through to one student (a year) it will be worth it. If I help one student that can truly affect their life in a positive way, whether it be through writing or taking a risk; that would be worth it to me. My goal is to encourage kids to love life! If you feel like learning chess, but your friends don’t think its ‘cool’, show them that you think it is. If you want to learn how to paint, paint! Does theatre interest you? Soccer? Rock Climbing? Journaling? Playing the saxophone? Whatever is it
