Why Become a Teacher
Why Be a Teacher?

“Why be a teacher?” has come up many times. To give a simple answer, I want to change the world. Teaching to me is one of the most interesting, challenging, and dignified professions that exist. No one has more potential for touching the personal, social, and intellectual lives of students than the compassionate and committed teachers. I decided to become a teacher when I met my husband. I have two-step children that needed a lot of assist in their studies. I personally took the time to help them comprehend what the concepts were that they were learning in school. By having excellent teachers growing up, I was able to help them take hold of the concept better. During my internship, I hope that I am able to become skilled at the different ways a teacher can present the material they are going over, so I can teach the children myself. In addition, I want to be able to learn how to communicate with the children. The most important thing I hope to be able to do is constantly build on what I already know. What better way to learn about design and technology from one that is very inspired by it? My greatest strengths as an intern would be that I have excellent people skills, personal stamina, self-respect, and self-confidence. I also have the ability to manage time, have thinking and leadership skills, and I am a team worker. I believe a teacher needs all of these strengths in order to be a strong and outstanding teacher. The area I am most interested in teaching is kindergarten thru second grade. The reason I would like to teach these grade levels is to gain knowledge of all teaching skills and studies before I move on to any one single subject. That way I can decide the subject I will be the strongest in and be able to help children, the most important people of

    I was inspired to teach from a bad experience I had when I was in elementary school. I was in the fourth grade and had a teacher that was very unfair to her students. We never played any learning games or activities. She was very as they say "old-school". She never smiled, never greeted us at the door, and we sat at our desk until it was recess time. It was always come in, sit down and do your work. This inspired me because I did not want to be like her and I wanted to make a change in a child's life, not make him/her feel inadequate. I wanted to teach children that they can have fun while they learned.…

    “Why do you want to work in this field” I want to work in this field because as a child, I was not given the best fertilizer to thrive in a classroom; being coddled and not being held to my fullest potential. I feel that it is my duty to prepare students for a lifetime of success through a well structured, fun, and friendly, environment. Through this environment, I hope that with my hard work, dedication, and help of my colleagues, the younger generation of tomorrow will have a pleasurable learning experience and think school is a fun place to be! Teacher qualities and responsibilities As an educator, one must be friendly, a people person, well educated, keen at listening and most importantly, keeping the little ones safe at all times.…

    My main reason for wanting to become a teacher is because I love children and I love working with them. Upon graduation from Boston College, I've had the opportunity of working in New York City public schools as a substitute teacher and at a privately owned nursery school in the Bronx as a part-time instructor. My experiences have been very rewarding thus far and have inspired me to want to continue along this path and seek further knowledge in the field. I can't even begin to describe the joyous feeling of knowing that I've touched the lives of the kids-- it is truly priceless. When kids pass tests, when kids say, "I get it," when kids come in and say, "Thanks. You're the best teacher I ever had," or "will we have you again" that means a lot. They make me laugh, they give me hugs, they cheer for my presence, they are observant, and most of them just need a little push. They give me nicknames, they miss me when I'm gone, they try so hard to do what I ask so much of the time. The most amazing feeling of all though is when the kids tell me they want to be just like me and teach just like me and are able to go in front of the class and teach others what I have just taught them. I have finally discovered what I am truly passionate about and am pursuing this passion by continuing my education so that I am able to fulfill my goal of being the best that anyone possible could be. This is what has driven me to want to go to Mercy and continue my education to become a teacher.…

I shadowed teachers and truly believed that teaching was my desired career path. I have experience in pre-k, kindergarten, and the 2nd grade. I learned that I am patient, caring, and that the students really respected me as an authority figure. These traits will be an asset in my endeavor to become a school counselor.

    I want to be a teacher for several different reasons. I initially decided teaching was for me when I was in middle school. I had an amazing teacher that helped me through a lot. She made a huge impact on my life, and I knew then that I wanted to be able to do the same for other kids. I later went on to have children of my own, which gave me even more reason to become a teacher. And even with the economy the way it is today, there are actually a lot of opportunities for teaching given the wide variety of jobs a teaching degree can obtain. I also understand the responsibility that comes with teaching and that the job doesn’t end when you leave the classroom. That is why I respect the teaching field as much as I do. I know I still have a long way to go before I get to my teaching career but I feel it will all be worth it when I get there.…
