Becoming a teacher is one of my highest aspirations since freshman year. In my school, they have us choose our “degree plans” in 8th grade. In my mind, all I thought was “how am I supposed to know what I want to be?” I ended up choosing the education route of the degree plan, not even sure if I wanted to be an educator. Once I was able to get involved and learn about the program, I started to love education. I was able to get 3 years of teaching experience in a classroom of student teaching. The time I spent student teaching is more than the average amount of time and opportunity that a college student may even get. I got to personally connect with the students and saw the different ways each student learned. Being able to teach a lesson, …show more content…

Also got to experience field trips, taking over the classroom when there's a substitute and getting insight on the education view of everything. This leads me into my club TAFE, which stands for Texas Association of Future Educators and I am president for my senior year. This club helps prepare us for the teaching profession and has competitions that I have the amazing opportunity to compete in. I was able to learn how to do lesson plans and teach classes in all different environments. The first time I did a lesson plan was my freshman year and that’s the reason why I want to be a teacher. When I got to teach it, I saw all the faces of the kids light up and I saw the impact that I could have on the children. At regionals that year, I achieved first place and moved on to state competition, and being a freshman, it was a big accomplishment. I am also president of the club called Best Buddies, an organization that creates lifelong friendships with people with an IDD (intellectual developmental disability) and includes them within the school and outside of school. I am involved with the special education program at Porter High School and I love all the students

I loved being able to share my knowledge and understanding to others and spending time getting to know the kids. The kids in the class have really grown on me, and I plan to continue visiting them throughout the year. As cheesy as it sounds, I have also learned to be more compassionate and loving in my life. No matter what kind of day I was having, as soon as I walked into the classroom these kids would brighten up my day. I have had a really happy trimester, and I feel like I have to give some credit of that to my volunteering experiences.

I have always had a passion for making a difference in others’ lives. From a young age my aspiration has to become a teacher, but I was not sure what level of education I would be best suited in. All through high school, I was involved in Best Buddies and Allied Sports which worked solely with students with disabilities. It brought me great joy to see them happy when people cared about them and even simply talked to them. It was not until about the end of my junior year in high school, I decided to explore different areas of education my senior year.

On top of spending numerous hours at clubs, I could always be found studying or working on a project. I have always been interested in my

I think that through hearing the ideas of others and seeing student work and progress, I was able to get more into teaching the lessons to my students and becoming the best teacher I could be. I also learned a lot about myself as a student and as a teacher through the assignments of creating and teaching literacy lessons in a classroom. I struggled initially with the phonemic awareness and phonics lessons because I have no memory of even learning these subjects in school. I was able to meet with the kindergarten teacher at the school I work for and see how she integrates literature into her classroom constantly. It was beautiful to watch students go from having no idea what the three letter word on their paper was, to sounding it out on their arm, blending it all together, and then suddenly fully understanding what it said.
