From a very young age, my parents taught me the importance of kindness and why it is always good to give back. With such an upbringing, my desire to teach in New York City is greatly influenced by the fact that it is the city I grew up in. Having gone to school in New York, I got to learn under the best teachers and working in New York as a teacher will give me the opportunity to give back to my community and help my students the same way my teachers helped me.

I have strong communication skills that make it easy to engage with my students in a way that is easy for them to understand. I am also able to communicate well with my colleagues and this will assist in helping to create a better environment for all the students.

For instance, when the chapter talked about why teachers choose this profession, it was important to get several educators opinions on why they wanted to become teachers in the first place. This is key because it allows us to view upon other teacher’s reflection and really causes us to ask ourselves why we want to become teachers. It was refreshing to learn their experiences and sort of connect them to our experiences growing up and sort of developing the motivation to one day teach students of our own. Another thing to point out that was important is that teaching is not an easy job, since it will require at least 50 hours per week and sometimes you will have to even pay

Experiencing how much you can help someone with just a box of food, had shown me so much in one day and made me want to continue to help and bless anyone and everyone I could.
