When did you first realize you wanted to teach?

Was it after learning how to read, after meeting your favorite teacher or was it influenced by the media? Look at the School House Rock video.



Think back.... reflect... now post your response, "When did YOU first realize you wanted to teach?"

I first realized I wanted to be a teacher when I was in elementary school. I would play school at my house and it was so much fun. To begin with I wanted to teach pre school and my senior year I worked in 2 year old classroom and a kindergarten class and I decided I wanted to teach kindergarten!

I first realized that I enjoyed being a teacher when I started teaching a Sunday School class at my church 10 years ago. The satisfaction that I would get out of seeing the "light bulb" turn on over the kids heads when they suddenly got something was great. I decided then that if I ever had to go to work, (which, since my divorce I do have to)that I would teach.

I first realized I wanted to be a teacher about 6 months ago. My son has epilepsy and I wanted a job that would allow me to spend more time with him. I applied for a Paraprofessional job with the Board of Education in Grady County. I was really surprised to see how many teachers are there just to collect a paycheck. I want to teach because I care about the children and I want to make a difference in their lives.

This is my first semister as an education major. I graduated in 2005 and couldn't decide if I wanted to be a teacher or a nurse. I took 2 years of core classes and finally decided that I wanted to major in nursing. I got accepted into the nursing program at SWGTC and after two semesters decided that it wasn't for me. I realized that I would rather teach. I love children and want to make learning fun for them. I want to help shape the minds of future generations and be a positive role model for my students.

I realized I wanted to become a teacher in the 2dn grade. Every weekend I would get my neices and nephews at my house and they would be my students and I would teach them ABC's and math.I would fix them lunch, and make them take a nap.I really loved playing school every weekend. Just 3 years ago a became a para pro and now everyone tells me that I will make a good teacher.
