Teachers change the lives of students every day, and I want to be the change that impacts students for the rest of their lives. I don’t only want to teach, but also advocate for those who may not be capable of advocating for themselves yet. Students with academic struggles or disabilities are often overlooked by their parents, which often leads to more struggles and behavioral issues. I want to help these parents get their children the support they need, and understand that just because their child is struggling, does not mean that they can’t be helped, because support is not a bad thing. Teachers are the reason I made it through school not only because they taught me basic skills, but also how to be a better person. I strive to be the guidance for students the way my teachers were for me, and watch them grown into their mature and intelligent selves. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to work in the education field. I fell in love when I began to babysit at the age of thirteen, and knew that education was my dream career ever since. I work in childcare currently, and love talking to parents about funny stories that happened that day, or new developmental achievements that I had the privilege of witnessing. Interacting with the children is another one of my favorite parts of working in education. I have the privilege of reading, facilitating arts and crafts, and teaching them social emotional skills like empathy. Watching them show kindness to each other at such a young age gives hope to me and other teachers that the world isn’t full of hatred. If little kids can show love, kindness, and empathy, that proves that adults can too. I get to facilitate these positive behaviors, while also watching new relationships grow. I also want to show students that not all teachers are mean, and that they struggle too. I have noticed that sometimes teachers paint a perfect picture for their life, but I want students to understand that it’s okay to ask for help, to not be okay, or to have a bad day. Bad days happen to everyone and it’s okay to not be perfect all the time. These are just some of the main reasons I want to go into education. I want to make a change in students’ lives, support them in their academic and personal needs, and watch them grown into their fun and unique personalities.
