No story for this post, sorry. Well here I am on the last day of class for the fall semester of 2010. It feels pretty dang good to have every project turned in and only 2 exams to go next week. Whew! What a relief this semester has been!! Much better and less stressful than semesters past. I often get the question of "why do you want to be a teacher?" For those of you that know me, I spent some time as a Landscape Architecture major and a Biology/Chemistry major before switching to ECE this year. Yes, both majors were fun but they just didn't feel right. I always knew I would probably end up teaching someday, even though I tried to fight fate. But honestly, of all the family members that have some sort of job in education, it was bound to happen that I would become a teacher, especially ECE since every family member works with the elementary age students. So here I am in my 4th year of college (I will graduate 2 years from now in the Fall of '12) and absolutly in love with my major. I consider myself so lucky that I get to wake up and go to class and play with kids. How fun!? So back to the question, "why do I want to be a teacher?" I want to be a teacher for many reasons. Here are a couple of my reasons... I want to inspire students to become whatever they can imagine and I want to shape their futures and coach them in becoming doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, or whatever they want. Because someday someone may find a cure for cancer and that person was once someone's student. How proud do you think that persons kindergarten teacher will be someday. In closing I found a couple of these verses that I found to be great for educators.
"If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well." -Romans 12:7
"And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others" -2 Timothy 2:2
