Cut the paper in half, fold it in half, stack 5 pieces of paper together, staple twice, fold in half again. I have been following this process for about 30 minutes when my boss hurried into the room. She informed me that the presenter for the day has cancelled and she needed someone to teach the summer camp group about the layers of the rainforest, and wanted me to do it. Needless to say, after one spot-on presentation about the rainforest, I realized that I wanted to be a teacher. Ever since my first experience teaching while volunteering at the zoo, I have been fortunate enough to have many more. I want to become a high school biology teacher. I want to teach biology because it is a branch of science that I am passionate about and want to spread that passion to others. But, the is not the only reason why I want to be a teacher. …show more content…

That is one trouble I have had a lot in high school. Some of the teachers I would be scheduled with would just kind of talk about a topic, almost like I should already know anything and everything about the topic. Many students also encounter not this problem every day. I would struggle so much with the taught topics and never quite understand it, affecting my grades and interest in the class. One reason I want to be a teacher is to actually teach students about biology and make sure they understand it and its importance. I want to actually educate, not just lecture. If a student has a question, I will do anything and everything to help them out and make sure the understand! I believe that a teacher’s job is to teach, not regurgitate

I want to be a teacher because I want to help children learn in new, innovative ways. I want to help the less fortunate children thrive in schools, instead of overlooking them and flaming the fire to their failure. I believe the purpose of education is to teach children life skills they will need to be successful in their society, whether that be going into the workforce or further their education after graduation. They should have a basic knowledge of our United States history, the English language we speak and the current issues going on in the world today. I believe children learn best by a humanistic approach within the classroom because one cannot learn unless they fully believe they are able.

I believe, one of the most important aspects of teaching is caring. Teachers must care for students and what becomes of them. Students have likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, needs and wants, hopes and dreams no different from anyone else. I help them with the education that can greatly influence their futures so I consider myself a part of their hopes and dreams. That leap-of-faith on their part bestows me with enormous interest in what becomes of them.

As a teacher, I believe you have one of the hardest jobs. Taking valuable information and displaying it in such a manner that every individual in the classroom will be able to grasp it. Every student does not learn the same; therefore, teachers must come up with hands on activities and other strategies to explain the material to each student. Students learn at a different pace also; for some it might take one time, and for others it might take three or four times. As a teacher, your job is more important than presenting the information to your students and hoping they take it in.

First impression is another key to make sure my students have a good school year. First impressions are not only important between the teacher and the student, but it is also important for the student to have a good classroom impression. I remember walking into classrooms for the first time and feeling nervous because there wasn’t any bright colors, or any welcoming images. I want my students to feel a sense of peace when they walk through the door, a sense of security. Having the child’s name placed on their chair, or their storage unit, will get them excited to see their name, and once again feel safe.
