Personal Statement: A Career In Education

Like many children when they were growing up, I was inconsistent and could never determine which of my interests I truly aspired to improve. In my early elementary school years, the question of what I wanted to be was always satisfied with the idea of being an artist. Building upon my craftsmanship seemed to be a straightforward plan; the ability to brush a pen in any direction to portray any image was brilliant. Another skill that became remarkable to me was the ability to communicate with hundreds of groups around the world. By the time I was eight, I came to actually understand what my mom’s career was: an English teacher for immigrants. She conversed in multitudes of languages with her students, and that intrigued me.

Myself, I know how to comprehend and speak German. I also currently take French and Japanese within the school. Reaching a point where studying the languages will pay off, such as being able to understand native speakers, is a motive for me to work hard. Spending time to study language may not always be convenient, but I know it will lead me to where I want to be. My interest in the subject has made me a knowledgeable person about other ways of life, and that knowledge makes my view of the world balanced.
