Philosophy of Education

While many people know what they want to do when they get older, I had no clue as to what I wanted to do after I graduated. Right before my graduation, my high school guidance counselor came up to me and asked if I would be interested in tutoring over the summer to make some money for school. Well I figured I'd give it a shot just to see what it was like, and from this came one of the greatest joys of my life.

When I walked in the classroom to tutor the children their faces lit up when they saw some one really cared and wanted to help them. At the end of the day when I would go home I could picture their faces and it would bring me so much joy. It's a truly amazing feeling to be sitting there knowing you made a difference in someone else's life. When it was time to start college though I thought I wanted to be a business major. Then one day when I was running around I saw one of those children I had tutored, he came up to me and asked me if I was going to be his teaches someday, and at the moment in time it hit me that I wanted to be a teacher.

When I get my own classroom, I am going to have two different sections of seat in rows of three or four facing each on different sides of the classroom. My desk will be in the front and center of the classroom primarily so I can see everything. There will be a blackboard behind my desk, this is so everyone will have a good view of it. On the back wall there will be a clock as we...

    From the very beginnings of the United States, its waterways have provided a way for Americans to increase their standard of living. Ports like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore all were important during colonial times and are still important today. US ports and waterways systems are truly a national resource. US ports and waterways have historically performed a role as the critical lifeline for our nation’s international and domestic trade since the birth of our country. Like any other national resource, it must be cared for and cultivated to meet the growing needs of its users, which include not only the direct users, but also each and every citizen. This cultivation must include consideration of future needs such as projected growth in waterborne commerce and characteristics and technology developments associated with its direct users (carriers, shippers, importers and exporters).

  • Making the Disintegration of the Keller Family Compelling in Arthur Miller's All My Sons

    943 Words  | 2 Pages

    The disintegration of the Keller family is clearly apparent from the beginning of the performance with all the lies and fabrication between Keller, Chris and Mother and all the secrets they are hiding from one another. The spuriousness of mother also plays a key role in the putrefaction of the Keller family and the quixotic views of Chris and his opinion of himself being morally pure, but he turns out to have a murderer for a father. Miller’s criticism of the stereotypical American family being materialistic and willing to do anything to make them money, even in Joe Keller’s situation with jeopardising his own son’s life by making malfunctioning aeroplane parts, which implies to the audience that Miller heavily criticises the American Dream, and how it makes humanity corrupt and very greedy

    As a child, when someone asked me what I was going to be when I grew up my answer was always a teacher. For as long as I can remember I wanted to teach. When I was around 7 or 8 years old I would make my grandmother math worksheets and she would pretend to be my student. I knew as I grew older that yes, my dream job as a kid was exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I started looking into different fields of teaching. I was stuck between high school English or Anatomy/Biology. So I began my freshman year of college as a biology student and I did community service at a local daycare. One week working with the children and I knew then that I wanted to be an elementary teacher more than anything. To see the smiles on their faces

    Knowing what I want has always been a challenge, whether it be what profession I desired to enter or simply what I wanted for dinner. Over the past seventeen years of my life, I realized I am always going to be changing. When I was seven, my dream job was waitressing. Taking care of people and their needs was inspiring to me. Later, I came to the realization that waitresses were paid very minimal and customers were not as kind as I thought. By the time I was ten, I desired to be a teacher. To decorate classrooms, to play games with students, and to teach others seemed much more delightful and enticing. But that dream failed two years later when my mom became a teacher.

    However, this move is not always a wise one because when an enterprise has fewer workers it would reduce its productivity which would mean more financial problems. Besides it strains the workforce. If these corporations continue incurring losses they eventually close down and as a result, the workforce loses jobs. This is what has been going on since December 2007. Unemployment is one of the biggest problems that governments have to deal with. (compston 2002).

    Some find that spending on the proper infrastructure and technology to improve our intermodal port systems would serve as less beneficial for a variety of reasons. However, the need for improvement in these areas is vital to actually providing to the GDP in this country. Take into the account the ability to communicate from virtually anywhere in the world in this day and age, everywhere you look someone has some sort of device in which they can communicate with one another at the touch of a button. Quickly dispersing the newest and most up to date information at the touch of a button has proven to be profitable to the economy as well as day to day business transactions. The thought of having intermodal ports serve their purpose just the same as cellular devices. By dispersing goods instead of information is much needed.
