When I graduated from high school I was excited that I would never have to step foot in a high school again. Now, three years later, I cannot wait to go back. I came to Northwest University as a Psychology Major. I had dreams of being a psychologist for teenagers, to counsel them through their challenging years. But I quickly discovered that I did not really care for the subject of psychology and found no passion in it. Becoming a teacher was always in the back of my mind, but I really was not sure about it. But the more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I've always had a passion for helping young people, and I knew I wanted to be in a profession where I could be around them constantly, so what better way to positively influence a teenager than to be their teacher.
Although I personally did not enjoy high school, I love that age group, and so I am excited to go back as a teacher and provide students with fun opportunities that I missed out on when I was a student. I am very passionate about other cultures and I love meeting people from all over the world. I have been studying the Spanish language since I was fourteen years old and I am completely in love with it! So I would love to be a high school ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and a Spanish teacher.

ReplyDeleteThat is really cool that you want to work with the high school age level, and that you have decided to do this through teaching. I also think that it's really inspiring that you want to go back and help students enjoy those years in high school, although you may not have liked them yourself. You have a personality that is easy to open up to and trust, so I know that you will be able to positively connect with your studnets and make an amazing impact.
