Some of these reasons are very important in making my decision, while others have no importance to me. Some reasons stated as an influence to chose to be a teacher have no importance to me. One reason that personally has no importance to me is enjoying lots of vacations. Even though vacationing is a nice way to get away from work and to relax, it does not cause make or break a career for me.

In my classroom, I do not want to my students to feel as if they are being governed, I want them to feel comfortable and able to voice their questions, concerns and opinions. Being a student for life also has no importance to me. Whether I be a teacher or any other occupation, I believe I would be learning something new everyday. Therefore, I believe it is more important to pick the job I love, rather putting an importance on being a student for life. There were also many reasons that stood out to me that had a role in my decision to chose the field of education. One reason is to experience the joy of making a difference. I personally feel that being an educator is a very fulfilling job where I am able to make a difference in a child’s life. Realistically, I know that I can’t be the teacher every child remembers for the rest of their life, but if I can have that impact on at least one child, I would feel successful. Whether I help a child in a subject they don’t understand or help them when they are going through a difficult time, I believe it is fulfilling to make a difference in their lives. Another reason stated in the article that is one of my reasons for wanting to become a teacher is to love my job so
Why do I want to become an elementary school teacher? There are so many different things I love about teaching that it is hard to answer this question. The main reason is that I want to transfer my knowledge and ideas to children who can further the things I have taught them to become successful. Many teachers throughout my life have been a big inspiration to me. They have taught me many things about basic knowledge and also about life. They have made education fun and exciting. My teacher’s did such a good job that it actually inspired me to be a teacher myself.
My choice to become a teacher is one that I always felt in my heart. As a child I always looked up to my teachers with such admiration. My elementary teachers had a way about them, they would teach us content as teachers are supposed to do but, at the same time they had this loving atmosphere about them. When you walked into their classroom you knew that you were loved no matter what. As a child this meant a lot to me because I was a child of a single mother who was always busy with work or other household duties. So being able to have that loving atmosphere at school with teachers who genuinely cared about me and what I had to say was very important to me and it has had a lasting impression on me.
There are many reasons people decide to enter the teaching field. Some enter because they enjoy working with people or children, others because they like being off during the summer months, and still others because of their love for a particular subject.

My desire to make learning a more positive experience for them has only increased with time.

I believe teachers should serve as role models and be the center of a classroom. In order to maintain that students stay on task and are all on the same page, the teacher needs to serve as a guide and direct the students. I do not believe that students learn best in a textbook based setting, but that textbooks are important when referencing material. I believe all students learn differently and look for new ideas or ways to teach lessons and concepts, so that my students can learn as effectively as possible. I also believe that a teacher teaches much more than the subject. It is very important for students in my classroom to something other than the subject that I teach. I want them to learn life skills that will help them in more areas and aspects of their life other than education. I believe my students should strive for hard work, dedication, and integrity, and go beyond learning just the content of a

I feel that teaching is perhaps one of the most fulfilling roles in life. Becoming a teacher to me means helping to shape another person by teaching and instructing them.

“I wanted to become a teacher to be able to make a positive difference on the future of children. For me, it is fulfilling challenge, stimulating the next generation to become lifelong learners.

The profession teaching is one of the oldest in the world. And it is certainly one of the noblest. The teacher or the guru, in the ancient world, always enjoyed not only the patronage but the reverence of the state. Teachers like vishnusharma or Socrates exercised a powerful influence in building up the mind and morals of young men. But in those far-off days the profession was not organized. It was an affair of the individual. The learned man would invite and attract pupils who would live with him in close and personal communion and learn from him through his examples as much as by his precepts. He would impart to them what he knew and make them heirs of his mind and inheritors of his wisdom. Perhaps the range of what he knew was limited but his depth was profound. He was poor in the worldly sense, but his intellectual life was rich beyond measure.
Every teacher has their strong points as well as weak points. Teaching is very hard work and some of them never grow to be anything better than mediocre. They do the bare minimum and very little over and above the call of duty. There are several ways to become a great teacher. Teachers are truly dedicated workers who put a lot of time and schooling into being able to teach for the rest of their lives.
As we reminisce and reflect back either on our childhood or academic career, we tend to have that one teacher who was memorable to us in some way - for their sense of humor, their stellar personality, or perhaps having that charisma and charm no other teacher had to make a difficult subject and it 's concepts fun to learn. While knowledge is power, I firmly believe that it is rather the exchange and distribution of knowledge that is power. When one can educate the masses there is no doubt that together we can accomplish great things. Becoming a teacher would mean the opportunity to be able to witness the shaping and molding of the minds of the future generations and the satisfaction knowing that you have helped your students set themselves onto the right path and provide guidance towards the creation of a better tomorrow. Choosing to become a teacher will allow me not only to educate my students, but also educate myself to be a better teacher throughout my career. I believe it is a function of human nature to want to change the world for the better. In adulthood, I have learned that the improvement of the welfare of the world must begin with
When I hear the word Professional Teacher, I immediately think back to all my teachers that helped me succeed and graduate high school. To me a professional teacher is to be able to teach the children how to be respectful to others, teach them how important it is for them to always be honest, and most importantly to keep in mind that I am their role model. A person whom they will look up to for the entire year. For this specially reason I will strive my hardest to be a very professional teacher.
His eyes seemed to appear as if a thin gloss covered them and thick deep black circles engraved his skin below. His facial expressions displayed emotions from curiosity to worry. He walked in with both parents clutching his hands and an interpreter followed the young Chinese couple. Neither he nor his parents spoke one word of English; the only person to help cross the language barrier was the so called interpreter, who turned out to be little help in the future. In the midst of trying to communicate with the parents through the use of the interpreter we gathered little information about our new student. We did however conclude that two days ago the family boarded a plane in a small town in a rural area of China and endured a 13 hour flight to come to Houston, Texas. The way the innocent young Chinese family appeared, I could tell they were still adjusting to the time difference. Their reason for leaving their home remained up in the air. The interpreter however became helpful in giving the basic information of our student’s name. Recognizing that any normal American’s tongue would become entangled with each syllable of his real Chinese name, his parents decided to define our new student as George. During the rest of my internship, it would be my obligation to teach George the basics of English grammar and to try to immerse him into the United States culture, without knowing that he would significantly change my outlook on teaching completely.
