At the age of five, I entered a “Little
Miss” pageant. The question and answer portion included the
question, “When you grow up, what do you want to be?” My answer was
“I want to be a teacher because I want to teach kids how to read,
write, learn and be smart just like me.” I have since modified my
teaching goals and philosophy.
Teaching should be fun and engaging. Students should look forward
to attending class and teachers should motivate their students to
try their best. As a teacher, I hope to engage students by making
subject material relevant to everyday life. I plan to stimulate
them through fun and innovative lessons. I want to inspire them
through my own enthusiasm to set high standards and goals for
themselves.
Most importantly, teaching should be about more than just facts and
figures. Students should be encouraged to excel in all areas of
interest whether it is science, sports, music or art. Teaching
should be about shaping young people to be productive and
responsible members of society.
