Jeanne Kramme Fouke Scholarship for Future Teachers
I enjoy teaching. I have personally reached out to my friends when they need help. In chemistry and math, I help others at my group to better understand the material. When we have projects or labs in chemistry, I am the one who helps everyone. When the person I'm helping understands what I'm explaining and their face lights up, I feel like I made a difference in their education. It is this spark of understanding that I want everyone to feel, this spark that everyone should have when they learn something new.
I strongly believe that teaching is my passion, I want to help those who are not comprehending their school work. School often times is a well-known struggle in a students life. I wish for this struggle to be erased. With my teaching, I can help everyone understand, even when students are seriously struggling.
Teaching other people also poses a challenge for me. Since school come so easily, I am not often challenged. With the many different ways that people learn, it poses a challenge for me to help them comprehend their school work. I do my best to work one on one with my group in chemistry, often having to help other people as well. However, I constantly have to explain everything differently to comply with different students learning style. I enjoy this type of challenge.
The future is always the younger generations. But, how will young students make a difference if they don't get a proper education because of grumpy adults? When I become a teacher, future generations will have a real education, not from a lazy teacher taking up space. The space that I will have will be valuable to students. I can make a difference in out world, through education. I will be someone that the future can rely on, someone that students can trust.
The people who help all say I'm good at teaching. They also keep coming back for more help. Specifically, my chemistry group always asks me for help. We often do online interactives to help us better understand, and my group always does with my help. Sometimes we do have to ask out teacher, but often times it is to confirm something. My group can rely on me to tutor them and for a more in-depth explanation. Because of this trust and role that I have, I enjoy teaching. This is what I strive for in my future career, this is what I am confident in.
