Why I Chose to be an Educator
There is nothing more sad than unused potential. I firmly believe that every human being in the world has something positive to add, some just never get to share it. I chose to become a teacher to help each child unlock their potential, to light a flame in them for learning, and to leave some legacy no matter how small that I cared and tried to make the world better than I found it. As a thirty- eight-year-old mother, grandmother, and wife, it is never too late to dream, start over, or to stretch your hand out to help.
Children come with different personalities, some that never stop talking and some that barely speak at all. I want to foster a classroom that helps each child, no matter how shy, feel comfortable …show more content…

When a child learns something that interest them they will never forget it. As adults, you may lose your job, your house or your car, but no one can ever take your education from you. I want to ignite that flame in each child for learning. The flame that says I want to do my best, because this work has my name on it. The fire that says, I want to learn as much as I can.
We all have something to add to the world, but many of us walk around taking selfishly from it, and not replenishing the good we take. I want to help every child that I meet, even if it is just some small impact. Through them I am leaving the world better than I found it. The children are our future and one day they will be running the country. They need to feel important and that their ideas and thoughts matter. Children may not get the love and support they need at home, but through me, their teacher, I can make them feel valued and special.
Being a teacher is the most important profession there is. Through education, all other careers are spawned. Teachers can have a positive impact on the children they teach if they care about their students. You must care and respect your students to foster a loving trusting relationship. Once you have a relationship, you can work with the student to ignite a love for learning. Through their newfound love of learning, they will discover their hidden potential and be

Throughout my entire life, I have always loved working with children of all ages. However, I did not know that I wanted to be a teacher until I began working at a daycare during my senior year of high school. I learned through my experiences at the daycare that I have something to offer children and that helping children succeed is one of the greatest rewards. I have had several teachers that made an impact on my life and I want to someday have that same effect on my own students.

I want to be able to make a difference in my community by educating the younger generation. The first 7 years of a child's education are the most important, this is when they adapt to studying habits, and the way they learn best, therefore, my career goal is to become an elementary teacher. What interests me the most about becoming a teacher is definitely not the money, however, the fact that I can be a leader to kids and actually be able to make a difference in their lives is very important to me. I believe that I can be successful in this career because I’ve always had a way with not just children but with people in general. It's important to have a relationship with the children and their parents because they will always want to know how their child is doing in class.

In my experience in the education system, my favorite teachers have been the ones that didn’t just teach the curriculum. The teachers that were my favorites were the ones that cared about their students as individuals. They asked about our lives outside of school, and if we were struggling, they would work with us, encourage us, and help us realize that we had more in us than we knew. Curriculum requirements were still met, of course, but due to their care for me, their subjects became more interesting and learning happened naturally. Being a teacher means to care individually about students by providing a safe environment, being or providing resources, and helping them become lifelong learners.

I believe that education is one tool in every avenue of life that each student should cherish. Teachers provide that foundation for lifelong learners because we shape and mold these young men and women every day. My belief as a teacher is that every child is capable of learning no matter what academic setting they are in, and each student learns in their own unique way. Showing each student, you believe in their success, as well as continuous encouragement, they will show you what is embedded inside of them. My goal as a teacher is to encourage and show every student what his or her potential is!

Working and interacting with children has always been an activity that I enjoyed. From a young age, I constantly heard comments such as, “You should be a teacher when you grow up.” or, “You would make a great teacher.” These comments were usually made by older family members witnessing me giving lessons to my stuffed animals and were probably more of a comment to support a young child’s imagination rather than legitimate observations, but they planted the seed in my mind that one day I may become a teacher. As I grew up, I started to realize other interests that I had, but teaching was always in my mind as a second option if my original plans proved inconceivable.

Students deserve so much more. What is needed, more than anything, are well-trained teachers who are passionate enough to go out of their way to help kids grow. Teachers’ credentials need to encompass more than just the ability to educate; they need to demonstrate that they actually care about their subject, as well as their students.

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.

“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud” – quoted by Emile Zola. My path, my life is connected to the pursuit of visual arts. The special part about being in this field is that art makes and builds you as you grow up. Artists are visionaries, as an artists seeking what’s around me and applying it to my talent is the greatest feeling in the world. It’s routinely practicing a form of faith, seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance.

As a high school student, I’ve always strived to improve myself and develop my character through interactions with other students. Every week I look back, reflect, and draw lessons on the week before, improving myself step by step, through small but steady increments. At school, I see myself as a tacit leader, a leader not necessarily through words, but rather through actions and examples—taking into account the image that I exude and actions that represent who I am. Hence, as mentioned before, I am always finding new ways to better myself and seeking new opportunities to hone my leadership skills. Over the years, my involvement in various outside activities has allowed me to develop an introspective, self improving regime that has helped me

As an International studies major, one of the first things we learn in our intro classes is about the up-and-coming superpower of China. We discuss the importance of China and its rising economy. The industry in China has boomed in the recent years, and they are now a country to truly focus on. Learning this knowledge moved my interest towards China. Throughout my education, I have come to understand that China has a drastically different culture from the United States.

My lifetime goal is to help others through service. Serving others and improving the community is a fundamental duty that I believe should be a part of everyone’s personal mission. Initially, I began my high school academic career seeking elective classes that would help me discover service opportunities. The healthcare profession is the path that I discovered as an ideal way to accomplish this goal of service. In particular, I intend to eventually become an anesthesiologist where I will assist patients during medical procedures.

My interest in medicine stems from the fact that as a doctor I will be constantly finding out about new illnesses and treatments, which in turn helps me to care for patients in times of distress and gives me the ability to provide the best cure possible for the illnesses the patients may have. The impact that my treatment could have on a patient’s life in a positive way, makes me appreciate this dynamic and unique profession even more. I shadowed a doctor in a general practice for a week and this allowed me to understand the importance of working as a team with the member of staff in a GP or hospital environment. Furthermore, in order to get a glimpse of a specialisation in medicine, I went to a neuropsychiatry clinic and this was an extremely
