Love what you do and do
what you love, this saying is exactly what speaks to me as wanting to be a
classroom teacher for elementary students. My childhood in classrooms were full
of discipline and parent teacher conferences. I could never love school in
elementary school. I saw school as a place where I got in trouble. I moved to
Vermont when I was ten and realized that not only women can be teachers. I soon
had great relationships with all the male teachers and another thing happened
where I enjoyed going to school. When I was in fifth grade I loved school for
the first time. My favorite teacher was my fifth grade teacher and I still tell
that same man that he made me love coming to school. This is the number one
reason I am pursuing to become an educator. I have known what I wanted to do
with my life since eight grade when I was picking classes to take for my
freshmen year. I never wanted to sit behind a computer typing all day long. I
had a connection with children and was able to make them happy and feel
comfortable with me. I first wanted to become a P.E. teacher for my love of
sports and teaching. My decision changed when I started observing the
connection teachers had with their students. Their students were more than just
students to them, they were more. The teachers treated their students as if
they were they’re very own children. Laughing, joking, scolding, helping and
caring for them. They want the best for their children and their students. When
a teacher cares about a child’s future, they love their career as a teacher.
