There is an infinite amount of jobs in the world for everyone to choose from. Figuring out your disposition and the type of career you want is one of the most difficult decisions you will ever make. As for me, I’ve always found it extremely vital to find a career that holds a lot of meaning. It’s undeniably important to have a job to support myself, but I also think it is crucial to find happiness in a career as well. From the time I was young, I knew someday I would become a teacher. Working with children through babysitting and volunteering helped me realize how much I care about teaching and helping children grow as individuals. Having the opportunity to teach children and become a good role model for students is something I have always …show more content…

I want to give students the tools to learn and be successful. I want to create a change in education, at the very least for the students that are selected for my classroom. In Freire’s article “There is no Teaching Without Learning” it talks about how one must allow themselves to learn in order to teach (Freire). I believe I can incorporate so much from this article into my classroom because I want to learn from my students and understand the best ways to help them learn and grow as people (Freire). I also want to give them the education they deserve rather than pushing them out of my classroom and onto the next teacher. Being a good teacher is so much more than that. I want to go the extra mile for my students and build my students up and help them establish a strong sense of self efficacy. Teaching involves mostly teaching your students the required material so they can move onto the next grade. But I want to teach my students to take the material they have learned and become anything they want. I want to be a positive role model for students and not only teach them what is in the book, but teach them to follow their dreams as well. I don’t just want to give my students worksheets to do, I want them to do meaningful projects that will inspire them and make them want to learn. I believe, especially for young students, teachers are more than just people that put facts in your head. Kids look up to their teachers and respect them. I want to be a teacher that makes kids look forward to coming to school. I want my students to say “I had a lot of fun in her class.” I am looking forward to having my own classroom and getting to have so many adventures with my classes. I want others to remember me as the teacher that worked hard to make her class amazing. I hope people in my community will want to say positive things about my teaching. All I can really ask for is for students, teaching, and

This book takes place in the spring of 1975, and in the state of New Hampshire. The town is quite, and everyone knew one another since they were little children. The characters were mostly seniors in high school, so they had those old cell phones. Most teenagers thought it was cool to drink and smoke, and to party all night. Jocelyn and Gabe had jobs at a breakfast diner where everyone hung out and met up with friends.

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.

During my time at Dawson College, I took part in the CEGEP's social and community involvement for the course of three semesters. I volunteered at the first aid team and at the Dawson daycare center to gain experience in taking care of different people. My passion has always been to help others and to work with children. Interacting with children in the daycare triggered me to pursue my dream of taking care of young people, and what better way to fulfill those dreams than by becoming a kindergarten teacher and taking part in helping shape our future generations? Being a teacher requires a lot of patience; therefore, volunteering in the daycare helped me learn to be patient and be more understanding because every child is raised differently and all people have different stories.

My goal as a 4th grade teacher is to welcome my students. Asking them if they had anything they want to share with the class and share myself if I have anything I want to share with them.

I think is a great idea to volunteer some of my students to help me stay on track and have a successful day. During the day, I know I will feel happy because I will notice that my students want to learn and are in the classroom for a great reason.

If learning in the classroom is not meaningful to each student, the application of knowledge is lost and unbeneficial. Depending upon the demographics of the school you teach at, there are certain steps a teacher can take to better help her students apply what they are learning to their daily lives and experiences. An article was published for Edutopia, written by David Cutler with special contribution from Mark A. McDaniel, the Director for the Center for Integrative Research on Cognition, Learning and Education (CIRCLE). According to the article, there are three key steps to integrate meaningful learning into your classroom. These steps are as follows: let students problem-solve, give frequent quizzes with low-risk consequences, and help students learn from mistakes, not punish them for their errors.

When it come to teaching there is various thing that come with it. But teaching for me is more than that, helping and molding students to what they desire to be in the future. (or desire for themselves that can help them not only today but in the future.) That way I am helping young minds discover new and interesting things about themselves and life that they were never exposed to. Growing up there were various of influences as teachers whether it was at school, home or even church.

We've all gone through school and we either remember the nicest and/or the most strict teacher we had, either or they are ones who had the most impact on us. I want to be that teacher; the one everyone remembers and go back to visit her. I believe that everyone was brought into this world for a reason. In my heart, I know that my purpose is to help, to motivate, and to make a difference in someone's life.

Growing up in a house with a mom who is an educator showed me the importance of education and spreading the love I have for teaching others and helping them grow as a learner. I grew up surrounded by classrooms from a young age. I would hang out in my mom’s room in the morning and after school while she worked. I loved going to school and never wanted to miss a day for any reason. I loved school because of the teachers and staff I had and I would love to be the reason kids love coming to school as well.

I touch the lives of my students and to be part of them even in a very little way. It was a reward for a teacher to be recognized and appreciated by their students. I also realized that being a teacher you must be dedicated all the time, you will experience sleepless night, so much stress and you will lessen your fun time with other things. But if you were dedicated it’s okay to experience those
