Time travel in movies rocks. Adventurers go to the future and save the world! The real future, however is the children of the world and how we educate them. Early childhood gives children the tools they need to succeed and helps to encourage their personality and creativity, changing the world one child at a time.
Children absorb information like a sponge. As long as they are interested, they can learn at an extremely fast pace and understand the information at high comprehensive levels, sending it to their long term memory. The skills children learn in their first years of life are the skills necessary to succeed at whatever they choose to do. These are the foundation to the child’s life and career, kickstarting the future greatness these children will create. Teachers should take it upon themselves to craft this foundation smoothly and with a solid base the child can grow on. Rome was not built in a day, but a child’s future can be created by a single teacher taking time out of their day to cultivate this future leader’s talents and innovative ideas. Everything a kid learns in grade school accumulates into the path they follow in their lives, paving the way for them to lead us into the future.
Teachers don’t just teach the core subjects, however. Children learn to be creative and to use reasoning skills in their everyday lives at school. Interacting with students as a peer plays a part, yes, but the positive reinforcement provided by teachers gives the student confidence in themselves and their academic abilities. Many students, when they are older, can identify a teacher that had a specific, pivotal impact on their life. Teachers also provide positive adult role models for the students to mimic. Parents aren’t always the best examples of behavior, as students can see them every day for an extended period. At some point during these long periods of interaction, parents are sure to get frustrated or to act without thinking, a negative role model for students. Teachers see these students for a shorter period and often have a strong handle over their emotions, becoming a pillar of strength for children to strive to be. Informational educators are emotional educators as well.
In conclusion, teachers give students the tools they need to succeed and manifest the student's emotional maturity. Teachers are necessary and change the world for the better, one student at a time.

My name is Katie Robinson. I am eighteen years old. I play the trumpet in my high school's marching band, participate in the theatre department, am fluent in American Sign Language, and enjoy the world I live in. My community starts in a small town called Lindale. Our school's academic system is unmatched, and the marching band recently defended our title of 4a state champions, winning again. Lindale isn't perfect. We don't have a movie theatre and the town is growing faster than it can manage, leaving gateways for issues and imperfections in our community. Despite all of its flaws, Lindale, Texas is a great place to call home. My favorite things are the park, with its amazing trails and lovely scenery, the performing arts center, where I performed many times musically and theatrically, and the people. Lindale people are unique. And kind. I appreciate the community here.
In the future, I plan on going into the field of early childhood education. I am going to teach the third grade. While some may see screaming children, a disorganized classroom, and a lack of stimulating lesson plans, I see a place to educate our community's future and help it thrive. Some of these kids will become doctors and lawyers, with well-paying jobs and prestige to their name, but I'm not doing this for them. I wish to teach the future. The real future with those who truly make the world spin. I'm going to teach and inspire small business owners, mechanics, plumbers, fast food workers, gas station attendants, waiters, stay-at-home parents, and little teachers that I will have taught. I won't teach for the extraordinary, although I will be sure to inspire and care for them the same, but for the ordinary, those who will inherit the working class. 9-5 day jobs are nothing to be ashamed of, and they help our community thrive just as much as the white-collared bosses. Without the middlemen, the walls of the community that we live in would crumble, literally! I'll be sure to teach the carpenters, too. To me, these little gapped-toothed, giggling children all have equal value in my eyes with no pressure to become someone society deems successful. I wish for their success to come from their fulfillment with their career and their value to the community, not from the values of others' opinions.
In conclusion, I am Katie Robinson. In my future, I will teach the world new hope.

I had the whole essay written up. It was jammed packed with details. You would have cried. But I couldn’t submit it. I couldn’t use her tragedy to tell her story. Because Braelynn’s death is not what she stood for.
All you need to know is that she was spunky, filled with all of the youthful spite she could hold in her seven-year-old body. She stood out in a crowd. She would have changed the world if she was still here. You should also know that she died suddenly, painlessly. It was no one’s fault.
The only real things that matters is the legacy she left behind. To me, Braelynn stood for two things: spunk and confidence.
Her spunk may have stemmed from her youth or her personality. No one really knows for sure. But everyone can learn from it. Braelynn understood that she deserved to be heard. She understood that she deserved to be seen. She made sure that her good ideas were heard and her opinions were know. I strive to mimic the pride she had in herself and her thoughts, propelling her forward in the world one word at time.
In the same vein, she had boundless confidence. Unmatched gall. Her complete faith in herself gave her the ability to try anything. Could she do a double back handspring, flip into a cartwheel, and land perfectly? No. Was she going to try? Absolutely. She believed in herself completely and never doubted her abilities in anything. Anxiety could never overcome her. It is my personal goal to continue her mission of self-trust and confidence. This gave her the unique ability to try anything, to live life to the fullest. She truly lived.
Braelynn is gone. But her ability to speak out and trust herself are not, living inside of me. I honor her memory by living to her standards.

Children need good role models to grow into healthy, functioning adults. While parents shine at this, they sometimes drop the ball. Teacher, however, spend more time with the students than the parents do and hold a unique and inspiring position in which they can utilize to inspire children and manifest their emotional intelligence, their personal values, and their future plans. I want to provide my future students with the confidence and abilities they need to succeed in life, a teacher’s true duty.

A Navy Grandfather’s Tale
Don Ray Robinson lived on the sea
A navy sailor he chose to be
His love on the other side of the world
His newborn child just born, a new life unfurled
One job was all he had to do
On this ship in the ocean blue
The flying fish that jumped on the deck
To throw them off boat, once again flying he sent
He thought of his love and he thought of his home
He thought of his lost friends never more to roam
And while he worked on the boat all alone
The morning sun brightly arose
The war waged
And the sea raged
And though he never fought,
He helped the nation just the same

The symbol of the lightbulb is often considered the pinnacle of great ideas. This, however, wouldn’t be the case without the man behind the light bulb. Higher education creates more people like Edison by advancing the mind of the recipient, giving them the opportunity to have a platform to better the world, and weeding out the good from the great.
The first step in any great achievement is the knowledge to complete it. Nothing can be accomplished without the knowledge necessary to do so. Higher education betters the individual and trains their brain in a specific field, forming and morphing recipient of the education into the next leader of their chosen path. College education separates the Shepard from their sheep, highlighting the individuals with a greater, brighter mind and shaping them into a leader with the knowledge they acquire through their college education. By doing so, the leader can then advance their field with their talents, bettering themselves and they world in the process.
College education also proved a platform for the leaders to lead. Many prestigious careers and positions of leadership require the applicant to have some form of higher education. Internships also come in the package of advantages the box of higher education gifts. These little positions are the brick and mortar to the foundation of society and prosperity economic excellence for America. They teach the user about their field and guides them in the correct direction while simultaneously allowing them exposure and insight into the world they wish to create and better, motivating them.
Higher education is, however, difficult. This is a good thing. The level of extreme difficulty and tedium of tasks expedites the process of differentiating the good from the great. College reveals those who have grit, determination, and a desire to achieve greatness and brings them to the surface, awarding them with opportunities born from their hardships. The difficulty also challenges the student to better themselves and to work hard to see their goals completed. This betters them mentally and reinforces the idea that hard work yields great rewards. If the student is a knight, the difficulties faced in college is the sword they can use to slay their dragons, or the societal pull to just give up and settle to be mediocre.
In conclusion, Higher education betters the mind, provide rungs in the latter of greatness, and divides the divine and the daring from the lazy and lacklusterus. College and its equivalent are the backbone of society and spoon that stirs the mixing pot of America, bettering one’s mind, one’s country, and one’s self, all at the same time.
