Becoming a Teacher

Teaching has been a career I have wanted to pursue most of my life. When I was about six or seven I think it hit me lol. I remember playing with my dolls for hours and hours pretending to teach them something I had just learned in school. Now that I am older, my reasons for teaching is not just to play. I want to be a teacher for the simple feeling of knowing that you have an impact on so many children’s lives. Not only within my closer subject, but also with the values that I would bring to the students. Knowing that the students will use many of the skills I teach them everyday of their life is a a very rewarding feeling. If I had to choose one thing that influenced me to become a teacher, I would have to say my dolls lol. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, but what pushed me even more, to become a teacher was my experience in my Early Childhood Education class. In this class I worked with children from the ages three to five. I loved working with them and I had a smile on my face every second of it. Working in that class made me realize that I could do this everyday of my life.
