My desire in life is to become an elementary teacher. I hope to one day be able to construct a major change in lives of young individuals and allow them the opportunity to grow and develop right before my eyes.

Being an elementary teacher would allow me to inspire children to be the best they can be.
Most of the classes I take in Duncanville High School are Advanced Placement classes. However, I do take some Dual Credit classes along with three regular academic classes. Nevertheless, two out of those three regular academic classes are internship classes. These internship classes are for young alumni who inspire to become teachers. The internship classes, otherwise known as Instructional Practices in Education and Training or even as Practicum in Education in Training, which is only for advanced seniors, allow students to prepare lesson plans, resumes, portfolios, go out to a field site and actually work with real students as an intern.

William Golding’s fictional, British novel, Lord of the Flies, presents a character that serves a two-part function as a “scapegoat” and a certain commentary on life. During WWII, a group of British boys are being evacuated via plane when they crash and are stranded on an island without adults. As time progresses, the innate evilness of human nature begins to overcome the savage society of young boys while Piggy, an individual representation of brains without brawn, becomes an outlier as he tries to resist this gradual descent of civilness and ends up shouldering the blame for the wrongdoings of the savage tribe. Up until his untimely death, Piggy is portrayed as the most intellectual and most civil character in the group of stranded boys. Right from the beginning, Piggy realized that “[they] got to do something,” (8) and he recognized the shell Ralph had picked up as a conch.

A nurse entertains many of the same qualities in which a mother does. I believe that a nurse must be hardworking, compassionate, empathetic, and able to work as a team player.
