Royal Family Kids Camp Personal Statement

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to teach young children. I knew I wanted to teach preschool when I dropped my cousins off at their school. It looked so fun and

Working with children and supporting their learning is my passion. I have always been inspired by the opportunity teaching offers each child to reach their full potential; which understandably plays a crucial part in children achieving lifelong learning.

When I was younger I wanted to be a teacher. I would drive my younger siblings crazy always wanting to play school during our free time. I would set up a mock classroom and come up with my very own lesson plans. I would be the teacher and they would be my students. Being the oldest I have always liked to take control and share my knowledge. I have also always been the nurturing one and the first to help others. I was sure that I had the skills and what it took to become a teacher.

What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a common question people ask children and young adults; however, for me this was never a simple question to answer. The notion of picking just one profession that you will essentially do for the rest of your life is scary! It has taken me years to find the answer to that question, but I have finally decided that I want to be a teacher when I grow up. The main reasons I want to be a teacher is because I thoroughly enjoying working with children, I want to make a difference in young children’s lives, and because of the scheduling of the profession.

Since I remember, I always wanted to be a teacher. For instance, my dream came true at the very young age of 19 years old. In my country, Guatemala, I got my Vocational Teaching Credential. Unfortunately, my long-awaited dream ended too soon. Six years later, my life completely changed when I moved to the United States.

While observing during my fieldwork assignment I had the pleasure of speaking candidly with quite a few teachers. It was Chanel Thompson’s conversation that stood out to me most. It seems we are like minded in many ways. Currently she works at Francis Elementary, a school that is currently plagued with the daunting tasks of trying to enrich not only the academic careers but the lives of its students. Francis Elementary is one of the many Houston schools that services children that fall in the bottom of the lower middle class, in terms of socio economic statuses. Like me, Chanel stated that she picked this profession because of the impact she would have on various children that she would teach from year to year. After teaching for just four short years she still feels the same way. She went on to say “Teaching will be the hardest yet most rewarding job you will ever have.”

Growing up, I had such big hopes and dreams for myself. As a child, I always aspired to be a teacher because I loved telling people what to do and taking charge. I am the oldest child and would always have to help my brother with his homework and teach him how to do things around the house. I remember how I enjoy quizzing him for his spelling tests. Unfortunately, life did not go as planned and I ended up taking the wrong path in life. However, 13 years and 3 kids later I decided to return to college.

Before I wanted to be a teacher but like many people was teachers don't get payed that much. I love to work will kids and I think I work well with kids to. Soon I stumbled on the idea of finding something that works with kids and a pediatrician sounded perfect. There is only one problem with wanting to become a pediatrician you have to do 8 years of collage. That's a lot of years but I'll do it if I really love it. I'm still young I have time to think or stick to this dream or pick a new one Roman Atwood taught me that I can do or be anything I want and I plan to follow my

When I was in elementary school I would spend most of the summer setting stuffed animals up on my bed to teach them all the math problems I had learned the previous year in school. In middle school my friends would come over and I'd teach them how to do cool tricks on the trampoline or how to draw bubble letters. Once I was in high school, I had more opportunities to work with children and I took them without hesitation. Since teaching is something I enjoy doing in my freetime I know it's something I would love to do as a career.

I have always loved working with children, they are so precious, and full of life. My mother had always babysitted up until recently, and I loved getting to help her. I volunteer in my church's nursery, and sometimes on Wednesday nights teaching. I have always enjoyed it; therefore, I plan on going to college to become an elementary school teacher. I knew I wanted to be a teacher ever since the second grade, because I had such a wonderful teacher. I have been working

In my 24 years of experience employed with the Department of Education I have found that working with children watching as they grow is inspiring as much as it is rewarding. Teaching helps one to sharpen their skills on all levels for the curriculum is forever changing. Being an educator has its challenging moments but its something I want to accomplish. To be successful at educating others I must continue to grow, increase and improve within.

I want to become someone who teaches, an educator, a role model, a teacher. I want to help children in their early childhood education. I want to become a teacher because teachers play a very big role in children’s lives. Not only do they serve as educators, but for many kids, the classroom is where they feel the safest. They feel welcomed and at home. For these certain kids it is their one place of stability where they are always guaranteed to be loved and get fed and to have fun. I enjoy watching kids grow and helping them develop their learning skills. Every kid needs a good education and I want to be the one giving them that good education. I want to make a difference in their lives and prepare them for the road ahead.

I always wanted to be a teacher. I loved going to church, and loved how the

When I first started school, I had no idea what I was doing. I knew I wanted to work with kids but I just didn’t know what. After taking so many education classes I started to believe I wanted to work as a teacher’s assistant. But finally, after this semester I would like to continue to become a teacher. I have learned so much and have can’t wait to learn more as I continue with more school. I have a passion of helping children, seeing them learn and having fun truly makes me

What do you want to be when you grow up? As students, we are frequently asked this question. If you asked me that question in 1st grade I would have replied with a fashion designer. If you asked me in 6th grade the response would be a marine biologist. I have concluded that that is totally not a terrific profession for me due to the fact that I became nauseated dissecting frogs last year along with crying. I was a mess. If you asked me right now what I wanted to be when I grow up I would give you one answer. I want to be a special education teacher, so I believe that being a special education teacher is the best job for me.
