Knowing what I do now from a teacher 's perspective, I owe so much to those teachers who pushed me to do better and who supported me in whatever way I needed at the time. In my career as an early childhood teacher, I hope to be one of the teachers that a student can look back and say, "I 'm thankful to have had her as my teacher."

Although my decision to pursue my master 's in education is a recent one, teaching has always been my goal, and the past few years as a substitute teacher, summer camp counselor, and informal science educator has secured that fact.

They taught us about our past, our language and the world around us for tests and quizzes while also teaching us how to navigate through life with their lessons that weren’t needed for our grades. For me, I wanted to be that kind of person. I knew I wanted to help others when they needed help, and I knew I wanted to do that as a teacher.

  • Progressivism In the Classroom

    A good education has always been drilled into my head ever since I was a little girl. Boy did I hate that, all I wanted to do was goof off and have fun with my friends. But as the years went on I started to realize how important it was to have a good education. Not that that made me like school anymore than I did; but I was realizing the different ways I was learning and how different people taught. I remember saying one day, when I was a freshman in high school, that if I was teaching this class I would have never taught it that way. Unfortunately, my teacher overheard me and I was forced to go to the front of the room and explain to the class the way it should be taught since I knew so much about teaching. Needless to say I did an awful job of it. That is when I started thinking about becoming a teacher. I know that does not make sense because I did such an awful job and was humiliated doing it. I did not like the way that man taught and I was determined to take his job. However, the reason I am here today is not that I want to take a teacher’s job; it is because I have the desire to make a difference in the lives of many students. I hope I will be a good teacher so that I will never have to hear a student say something bad about my teaching.

I am excited by the thought of teaching children to read and write; skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.
