I have known in my heart since I was a little girl what I wanted to be when I grew up. I have wanted to become a teacher ever since my mom dropped me off on my first day of kindergarten. I could remember walking up to my teacher who was greeting each student at the door and told her “one day I am going to be just like you” and sure enough I am hear trying to pursue my passion for teaching the youth. I have realized that my passion for helping children is a natural calling that I am destined to follow. As a child, I attended school as an escape from a not so good home life. I looked up to each and every one of my teachers because they made a difference in my life and one day I can only hope to provide that same feeling to my students. I love …show more content…

Myself, my two sisters and both my parents were forced to move into a travel trailer. Since there was five of us crammed a tiny space it made it hard for myself to stay focused on school work. I come from a broken home and was raised by my mother and father on a very low income. Thus, I do not receive any financial support from my family and little from the federal government to fund my college education. Therefore, my financial needs are very high. Throughout my life I have strived to achieve my goals solely on hard work and determination. My parents have taught me my work ethic and I am proud to say that I am hardworking and can learn most skills fast. I love people so it makes me a very friendly person so I can get along with anybody and that’s important because I can be around many different people and personalities. I focus really well and if I have a task at hand I will finish it with no hesitation and to the best of my ability. I enjoy learning new things so any chance I get I will try to learn a new way to help me in my classes. I tend to be a visual learning so I am constantly trying new ways to relate my learnings to real life situations. I work very hard to keep my grades up even while working as a full-time waitress. One of the first things that I have done in order to overcome the challenge of being a low-income student has been looking for way to get extra income. I am originally from Paso Robles so in order to help pay for my schooling I travel two hours home every weekend to work at a restaurant that provides me with tips that helps me save and pays for tuition. Although the drive is long and repetitive it provides me with an opportunity to make money so I can pay out of pocket for my

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Being A Second Degree Seeking Student

371 Words | 2 Pages

Currently I am a second degree seeking student who is completing a degree in nursing. With that being said the cost of attendance at Sam Houston is currently at an all-time high for me because of the program being completely in The Woodlands, and government funding is at a low because of me being a second degree seeking student. In addition to a rigorous course load, I am working two jobs in an attempt to make ends meet. Unfortunately, even with working, this is not always the case. Typically, a working person can afford things like a car note, car and health insurance, rent, and phone bill, but it is extremely difficult for a student to do so although these are things most students, and all nursing students must have.

These are two qualities I have learnt through various activities including the Duke of Edinburgh award, helping organise a blue cross charity fashion show, and two Blissfields christmas parties (local festival - winner of best small festival 2014.)

With experience in a major administration position, I plan to use the knowledge gained and systems I develop to run my retailer in 10 years. As my Rational temperament is described by the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, “Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in the pursuit of their goals…” (Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ), n.d.). I also am focused on efficiency which, in my opinion, is the basis for maintaining profitability in any business.

This would be a chance to step out from the course books and get to know the creative world, opening up further questions and avenues of enquiry, enriching my stock of knowledge. Rapid development of science in Europe, nearly 400 years ago, when the working of the material world began to be clearly understood, created a great sense of confidence in human intellect.

Since an early age, I have always been enthusiastic about English. The books read to me when I was younger had a lasting impact, being the starting point for my love of literature. For me, the fascinating thing about English is how that through just words on a page, an author is able to manipulate and influence a reader's emotions through expression. This has encouraged me to want to continue further study into and extend my knowledge of English, providing a catalyst for my future career prospects. I have always considered myself academic, and for that reason chose to continue my studies with 3 A Levels.
