I feel that it is important for everyone to find a career that they love and will be happy to go to every day. I do not have a set career I have in mind yet but I’m sure with my passions and drive for success I will find the perfect career for me. The things I am passionate about and could make a career out of are, I love working with kids, I am also passionate about animals. I would love to become a teacher for many reasons, for example, I love kids, I want to teach because I want to see them succeed, and I want to make a difference in children's lives.

I asked them the same three questions to see how their answers would differ. The questions I asked were, what are some aspects of your career that you didn't know about or consider when you were starting out? What initially inspired you to pursue the industry that you are currently in? And what would be one important piece of advice for someone like me who is considering going into the field that you are in? The first teacher I spoke to was Marissa Teel, the second and third-grade teacher. When I asked her the question of what are some aspects of your career that you didn't know about or consider when you were starting out; her answer was that she did not expect it to be such a long-term commitment and job. She realized her job as a teacher was a long term commitment when she started having past students come back to her as high school or college graduates telling her what she had done for them as a teacher. She also mentioned that she never considered how special it is to have summers off of work to spend time with her family. The next question I asked was, what initially inspired you to pursue the industry that you are currently in. Mrs. Teel’s answer was simple, she said that it was her love children and love for learning the brought her into the career. The final question was what would be one important piece of advice for someone

When interviewing Mrs. Gray, I learned that teaching can have its pros and its cons, but if you enjoy what you love to do, you’ll see many of the pros it has to offer instead. I learned that personal experience can help you choose what you’d love to teach. The way Mrs. Gray figured she’d love to teach by being an instructor is interesting because I enjoy drawing and that passion has encouraged me to want to teach drawing. What was good about the interview was that I got to know a little more about Mrs. Gray. The whole interview went great but what made me nervous about wanting to become a teacher was when she said “You’ll never know what to expect when teaching, all students behave differently and it can become challenging to teach.”

Personal Philosophy Statement My personal philosophy statement is that eliminating the cost of education would allow more students to attend college. Many people graduate high school and stop their education after that, because they feel that attending college is not in their budget. However, not being able to afford college is not reason enough for you to miss out on the opportunity to experience higher education. When attending college, you have a lot of costs that factor into your attendance.

I have always wanted to pursue a career in Primary Education and carry out the roles and responsibilities of a teacher. I am always determined to get involved in volunteering schemes which concentrates on the aspect of the education of young people. After several consultations with teachers at Broadway school I have learned that this career tends to get a bit competitive, so when I come face to face with a difficult situation I push myself using everything I possess to overcome these challenges. Throughout my education the teachers I have encountered, the way they interacted with me, encouraged me influenced me to do the same for other children, this is the reason for wanting to pursue a career in teaching. This is because I believe that children at this age go through many changes so they will need someone to push them to go forward encouraging them when they need it.

The field of education is one filled with many different questions. There are multiple aspects of the career that catch my eye as I ponder if education is the profession for me. Like I have mentioned in assignments prior, I have two parents that are currently high school teachers. Having two educators that are also parents has allowed for me to have an insight to a teacher’s life outside of the classroom and school. As I have grown older and started to pay attention more, I have realized some of the main issues my parents would come home and have to deal with.
