The factors that influenced me to become a paraeducator are my passion to work with children and the desire to make a positive difference in their lives. I want to help children succeed and reach their full potential both socially and academically. When my twin boys (who are now 21) were in elementary school, I spent many hours volunteering weekly in both of their classrooms. I helped the teacher by preparing learning materials and I worked in small groups or with individuals with reading and math. I loved the time I spent in the schools with the children and loved the school environment.

I have always enjoyed teaching people and helping them learn so that they can succeed in school. I got involved with tutoring through National Honor Society and the A+ Scholarship Program. With National Honor Society there is many service opportunities that I am able to be involved in and I do as many as possible, but tutoring homebound has always been what I've prefered to do. This is very important to me because many of these students aren't in class to learn directly from a teacher so things can become confusing fairly quickly and I like to be there to help as much as I am able to. Even at times when it is something that I am not proficient in it becomes a learning experience for me as well as the student I am tutoring.

This would require me to have expertise on the material but on top of that, to be friendly and approachable. This reminds me greatly of the time when I was the co-president of my high school’s tutoring and science clubs during Grade 12. These experiences taught me students can have unique learning styles and that being flexible around their needs is key to successful teaching. That may involve analogies, role playing and being creative in getting the message across. These are the valuable skills that I want to apply and build upon during my job as a TA and I believe these would prove crucial since the class size has increased remarkably for the upcoming
