One friend, an enthusiastic first grade teacher, noted difficulties in the profession but encouraged me to continue and I did with slight hesitation. I vividly recall the journey that has led me to where I am and the where I strive to be. Teaching met every expectation I had but as a committed lifelong learner, I applied graduate school in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding of education, the pedagogy, and educational best practices.

Exactly 11 months from the day I started my graduate studies, I submitted my last assignment and became a proud University of North Texas graduate, having completed my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership with a 4.0. My short time as an educator and the University of North Texas educational leadership graduate program have shown me that a general education teacher is not my final destination. I have truly realized that education administration is the career in which I see myself excelling. I aspire to obtain a Doctoral degree in education leadership and innovation with my ultimate career destination being that of an administrator in K-12 public education. I believe that I was fortunate enough to discover my passion for education in time for me to make the career

The motivation, passion, and the internal will to want to succeed in life has always dwelled within me, so ultimately, all I needed was to find what interest me in life. In the beginning, I found myself staring down the road of becoming a teacher or dental hygienist. At first the idea of becoming a teacher seemed like a prominent, and fulfilling job. I get to convey knowledge to groups of young individuals, I also get to work in a setting with other mature adults who share my passion, and I have the opportunity to work with children; but, ultimately, there was just one main component missing for me, and that was the hands-on aspect.

Philosophy of Education Working as an elementary school teacher is one of my next steps in reaching my true goal: becoming a Humanities professor. Before beginning the teaching program for my bachelor’s, I had plenty of time during the process for my Associate’s to really think about what I wanted to do with my life. Originally, I was practicing to be a Forensic Pathologist: not only is the minimum salary $500,000 a year, but there is only 72 employed Forensic Pathologists in the United States, and I would be the first Native American to become one. However, it was my love for the art of human beings that eventually won over in the end, and I began a path headed towards Humanities.
