My lifetime goal is to become a teacher for an elementary school. I love kids and would love to work with them. I am already in a program that lets me get the experience that I would need to become a teacher. The program is called PET and I have been in it since last year. I feel in love with it so much that I actually went back and requested the same teacher. The class I had was just an outstanding fourth grade class, as was the teacher Mrs.valentine , my mentor.I never really had an idea of what grade I would teach but I always had this feeling that maybe I should just go first grade, but ever since I got into this program it changed my whole point of view. It was just so fun and you get to actually do something with them and they know what your talking …show more content…

As a student teacher I felt like for now on that's what I want I know that that's where I have to be . Mrs. Valentine gave me the most experience out of all the other student teachers that were in the program I felt because I really did more than the others and was loving it. I got to do groups with the students , lessons that I made with them , I copied papers , and graded papers. The students really looked up to me like a real teacher and I suppose that boosted my confidence even more.
Its really ironic that I have always wanted to be a teacher because I hated school , it just wasn't for me.I love kids and love working with them , I want to have a good impact on them just like my first grade teacher Mrs.Thesisn from Walzem Elementary school. She is the one who inspired me to become a teacher in the first place. She was just an amazing teacher in every way possible. She was my hero you could say. I didn't like school but I try because I know to become a teacher I have to go through more school , so i'm trying my best that I could. I know Mrs. Thesisn would be so proud of me and would want to really encourage me to

I have always been a very caring person, so deciding to be a teacher came naturally, having an extreme level of patience, and an attention to students needs I believe my skill set will best be used teaching Special Education. I have been in Teaching Academy for 3 years, where I have worked with special education students and fell in love with them teaching. If later in life I chose to pursue teaching a different subject I would hope to still have a connection with students and help those especially who get as discouraged as I do in school.if anything is to come from my mistakes at school I hope it's to encourage others not to make the same. Being a teacher is a goal I have set for myself, I know it will not be easy and it will not always be rewarding but if I can help at least one student I will be able to die satisfied I ask again who is Cecilia Gallegos?

I loved being able to share my knowledge and understanding to others and spending time getting to know the kids. The kids in the class have really grown on me, and I plan to continue visiting them throughout the year. As cheesy as it sounds, I have also learned to be more compassionate and loving in my life. No matter what kind of day I was having, as soon as I walked into the classroom these kids would brighten up my day. I have had a really happy trimester, and I feel like I have to give some credit of that to my volunteering experiences.

I have always had a great interest in becoming a teacher. In my life, I have had many inspirational teachers, but one has always been a role model to me.

This is one things I always look forward to starting the week. The moment I first thought about becoming a teacher was in elementary school on my first day in 4th grade. By this time I had attended three separate elementary schools, and every single teacher I had showed great compassion, and helped me immensely through my transition. For some students even, the most adult contact they experience comes through a teacher, and it is important for educators to be these mentors in students lives.
