I have been entrusted with six children who are my responsibility to help care for. I provide them with food, change diapers, and play with children from ages zero to seven. To be trusted with these responsibilities, at such a young age, was very meaningful to me. Working at this daycare has helped to further reassure me, that I want to work with children in any way possible. In addition because, I am so accustomed to working with younger children I know I really want to pursue elementary education, as opposed to secondary education. I believe elementary education is the perfect fit for me, and I truly believe that this decision will make me the happiest in life. My professional life, should also be something that makes me happy, and becoming a teacher in elementary education, will help me to accomplish my dreams. Most people would not be willing to hire a 16 year old to be in charge of a big group of children. That is why this job was such a large achievement for me. This job has allowed me to create my future goals, and I can not wait to continue to pursue them. These achievements, have truly allowed me to discover my future goals, and do whatever it takes to obtain them.

    As an education major at State College, I’ve decided to become a teacher for several reasons. As I progressed through elementary, middle, and high school, many of my teachers were great role models for me. This has inspired me to become a role model for someone in the near future. My love for science and math has also influenced my desire to teach and make a difference in a child’s life. I want to teach students the subjects that I love so much. I want the feeling that I helped a child accomplish or learn something they couldn’t understand. One of the main reasons I want to become an educator is because I feel education has really lost teachers who truly love teaching and those who truly love teaching and those who have the desire to make a difference. I feel I can really help make a difference in the education world and bring back the love to teach.

    I am so excited about one day teaching our children. My goal is to be a positive influence on a child and I cannot imagine anything more important to do with my life than helping children. A quote from Herbert Kohl sums up my feelings of becoming an educator: “I believe the impulse to teach is fundamentally altruistic and represents a desire to share what you value and to empower others. I am not talking about the job of teaching so much as the calling to teach. Most teachers I know have felt that calling at some time in their lives.” My dream is to someday soon fulfill my calling.
