Recommended: Why respect is important in society and school

I am a transfer to Central College, and I am currently in my third year of college. I was born in California, and as a child, I moved around often and experienced various of cultures, sizes, and environments in the classroom setting. Ever since I was a child I enjoyed being outside and doing activities such as hiking and fishing. I have a passion for working with kids. Currently I work twice a week with a student with a language disorder, and I teach this student how to read and write. This is one things I always look forward to starting the week.

The moment I first thought about becoming a teacher was in elementary school on my first day in 4th grade. By this time I had attended three separate elementary schools, and every single teacher I had showed great compassion, and helped me immensely through my transition. For some students even, the most adult contact they experience comes through a teacher, and it is important for educators to be these mentors in students lives. I want to be a teacher students can come too, and be there to support the student to help them love to learn. My passion for teaching has grown more recently since I have worked with children in daycare, before and after school programs, and with teaching spanish speaking adults English.

I want to make an impact on students’ lives, and be the mentor that all …show more content…

In Bernie Sanders book, The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class, he states on the issue of how a tax break in favor of millionaires will only continue the decline of middle class families, poverty to increase and for there to only be a great gap between the wealthy and middle class. On December 10, 2010, Bernie Sanders brought to the attention to the House of Senate how President Obama’s and the Republicans agreement on a tax break for millionaires would not be the greatest of plans. He brings to light how unjust it would be that millionaires would receive tax breaks while the lower and middle class continue to get higher tax rates. Ultimately what Senator Bernie Sanders is trying to clarify is, that this tax agreement will only cause damage to future generations. In his point of view, if this were to occur, this will only cause American citizens to believe that the political system is declining the progress of the middle class but

I have always had the desire to find a career that enabled me to help others improve their quality of life. Growing up with my father as an elementary school teacher, I witnessed first-hand the positive influence you can have on a child’s life, as well as their future. He always stressed that each student is an individual, not just a number. Early on, I learned that every child is far more than their standardized test scores. Even though I felt the draw to work with children, I knew that little reward came from the hard work of being a regular classroom teacher.
