Motivation to Teach

To me a teacher is someone who loves children and loves helping others achieve their goals. I think the main focus on a teacher’s mind should be to encourage others to make the world a better place to live. In order to make the world a better place, someone has to inspire others to make a change. I feel that teachers should become the inspiration of today’s children and tomorrow’s future. I believe teachers need that desire inside of them, to want to make a difference in someone else’s life, in order to make the world a better place.

When I receive my Education degree in Mathematics and Science for grades five through nine, I plan to make a difference in not only one child’s life, but in every child’s life I teach. I believe education is the key to making a difference in the world. I know I can’t make that difference on my own, so I plan to teach my students the knowledge I have received through not only school but also through life.

I want to become a teacher the student can trust in a time of need. I want to be there for them when they need someone to talk to about any situation. I want to be involved in my student’s life, not just stand in front of them and conduct lessons.

I had many teachers who taught me valuable lessons, and I want to model the impact they made in my life.

After I pursue my Bachelor of Science in Education, I plan on settling down in my hometown, Peterstown, West Virginia, and raising a family. I want to find a job in that area, either at Peterstown Middle School or at a Giles County School in Virginia. I want to give back to my community what it gave to me as a student.

I know it will take time to change the entire world, but if I can influence the life of one child maybe it will become contagious. I want to inspire students to go out and achieve their dreams and inspire others to do the same. I had many teachers that inspired me to do just that and that is my plan for life- to encourage others to make the world a better place.
