My lifetime goal is to be an elementary teacher so that I can leave an important impact on our nation’s future. In my opinion teachers do more than just teach, and their impact goes beyond the classroom and have an important impact on what they grow up to be. My teachers from my adolescent days served as role models for my future and I want to have that same effect on the students that I teach in the future.

I had to work long hours to make ends meet and that took a toll on my academics. The one thing that influenced me to be an educator was my jobs in childcare. First I started off as a babysitter for family friends and at church then as I got older I worked my way up to working for more serious forms of childcare. After I graduated high school I worked for a small daycare called Tree House Kids and it was horrible place to work at. For a full year the highest they ever payed me was 7.25 and their business was solely focused on the amount of money they could make off each kid instead of being invested in their general wellbeing. When I couldn’t take it anymore I decided it was time to move on to a more respected daycare. The next Daycare really opened my eyes to what education should really be about. They worked one on one with kids and kept it small so that every child could have the opportunity to grow instead of being treated as a number. The drastic difference between childcare showed me that kids need that one on one attention to really prosper in their environment and overcome any challenges that they might

Robert Frost once said, “Freedom lies in being bold.” Being bold is when you risk something, your physical danger, embarrassment, or reputation for others. Bold actions are worth the risk because you can be called a hero and people may benefit with success. People take bold actions everyday, and people benefit with success by taking bold actions. When you take a bold action or risk, you could be considered a hero for risking either your safety, embarrassment, or reputation.

Education is the most important part of a child's development. If we look closer at education, we can see that it is more than just the subjects being taught, it is also the connections the student makes across their life. Schools are the social development grounds for children to teenagers, fostering relationships one will probably never see again in their lifetime. These diverse communities are essential to a child's development, opening their eyes to lives outside their own will create a welcoming environment among students. That is why I feel that the education field is one of the most important jobs in the world.

I believe a career in education is a worthwhile vocation for this cause. In our competitive society it is important for young people to not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is conscious of and responsive to their personality. A student is influenced by his environment, and patterns his behavior to match the individuals closest to him. I believe that each student is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and thought-provoking environment in which to develop and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.

Growing up as a child, my ambition was to become an elementary teacher. I grew up watching my mother work with children who had difficulty reading.

Although, my mother was only a teacher’s assistant, that did not stop her from filling up each student’s brains with knowledge and skills. Through my childhood I often observed my mother’s hard work and determination, and I just knew that one day I too had to change the lives of my very own students.
