A personal view of education....
There are
many children that are in school. Some of them are succeeding and others are
struggling in their classes. As a student studying to be a teacher I plan to
find ways to hopefully reach those children that have a hard time trying to
succeed. Education is a much-needed tool to survive in life. It is the basis
of a person’s career. As the years go by education is becoming more of an issue
than what it was before.
There are more and
more children that I have noticed that have been put on medication to calm them
and to help them concentrate on the teacher and their work. I have had the
chance to work with some of those children. I did not like the effects that it
had on them. The children would become totally different people than what I
would see before. I truly believe that there are other ways that we can reach
those children. Some day I hope that I can make a difference with that
situation. Therefore there would be fewer children on medication.
I know that when I
went through my years of school there were teachers that were awesome and there
were some teachers that didn’t even care. I want to be an addition to a staff
where the teacher’s care and everything that they teach have meaning. When
children are in school, they need teachers that are caring. If teachers show no
interest then why should the students show interest? I know that in my field of
my studies I will have children that will be successful and I will have children
that will struggle for the rest of their lives. No matter what the situation is
with my children I will always strive and never give up. I truly believe that
where there is a will there is a way. What I mean by this is where there is a
will to teach there is a way to reach each and every child. You just have to
figure out how.
As a teacher I
would like to be a major influence on the children that I will be teaching. I
want to bestow in them what some teachers can’t. I want to be able to be a
friend when a child needs someone to talk to. I want to provide children with
special needs the opportunity to have clubs and organizations that they can
belong to and participate in. I want to make the future of the children that I
will one day be teaching brighter. I want to be a big part of their lives by
steering them in the right direction.
