1001 Words5 Pages

German has been part of my life for seven years and I look to it being part of my future as well, since I am wanting to teach it at the high school level and to continue to work on my own German. With this year in Germany as part of the ETA program, I will not only get the chance to work and learn from with fellow teachers, but also improve my German and build up my knowledge of German life, so I can better teach my students when I am back in the United States. My personal experience in Germany was only five months so having a more extended time in another place would give me the chance to expand my knowledge outside of Saarbrucken where I studied. I will be bringing a year of experience teaching in a classroom and an education degree of History Secondary Education and German. With that degree I would come into the classroom with a variety of different teaching methods and ways to reach students. A lot of my classes have also focused on moving away from tradional lecture methods, so I will bring new techniques to help students with their English and United States understanding. My teaching style is more about getting …show more content…

I studied abroad in Saarbrucken, Germany for five months in 2016 and it was my first real personal exposure to Germany. I was very lucky with that experience and it took a while in my German learning journey to get there and it is not something that all German learners have, so being able to bring in more varied authentic German experiences into my classroom can help to supplement my students’ understanding of Germany until they get a chance to go experience it themselves. It can also help them understand the language and culture more to have these

In the last year I took on a variety of extracurricular activities in order to confirm my desire to become a physician. I took on a job as a research assistant in a neuroscience lab. This experience showed me how to take the information I had learned from the classroom and apply it to my research. It also taught me that an interest in science alone was not enough for me to achieve my goals or tackle real lab problems, but most importantly it helped me realize that I wanted to do more than just research. My time in the lab taught me that although I enjoyed science, I truly wanted interaction and connection with people and to see the medical application of these scientific techniques.

I always had an interest in learning about different sciences in High School, and knew I wanted to choose a career where I could help people. However, it was not until I was in my senior year, when my father fell sick, I realized my true interest was in medicine and the human body. The doctors would come into his hospital room, explaining what tests they were doing and what medications they were going to give him. My curiosity lead me to research the illnesses he was being tested for; forms of vasculitis. It was not until after numerous different tests and a lung biopsy that my father was diagnosed with the rare form of vasculitis, Churg-Strauss Syndrome.

As we walk along the corridors, I try to familiarize myself with the school’s structure through listening to the learning coach intently and asks questions about the school. Also, we get to meet most of the school staff.

Teachers Assistant: A Personal Statement Analysis

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.’ Hungry not only for bread — but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing — but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks — but homeless because of rejection.”

This course featured a variety of ways to express information to students. The techniques that I found very effective were the videos and the conversations on Blackboard. I thought the videos were an effective way to convey information because it is easily accessible, as many students have phones and devices that can access YouTube easily. Additionally, I believe the use of media as a teaching tool can help keep students interested in the topic, as different students can find visual learning more effective.
