why teach
why teach
The people who inspire me to become a teacher and the why of why i wanna be a teacher are my little brother and a elementry teacher. i have wanted to be a teacher ever since i was a little girl. i had a younger brother who i made play school with me. I would come home from school every day and teach him everything i learned. once he got to 5th grade he made a 100 on the state test. Yes you heard me right a 100. he would always tell me that im the reason he is such a great student and was always ahead in his classes. that pushed me to want to be a teacher more than anything seeing him succed because of what i have tought and passed on to him. There was this one teacher who impacted my life more than she will ever know. her name was Ms.dunaway . She was an amazing teacher who set up her math class to encourage us to go to college. she would call her classroom dunaway university. ms.dunaway was just a regular teacher who taught math but she would make math fun. she taught us silly songs for our multiplication. I remember these songs to this day. she made learning engaging and she made college seem achievable. the school she countinued to teach at and the school i went to was a very low income. this status of low income didnt define her as a teacher but she made sure it didnt define us as her students. she knew most of us didnt have parents or role models that went to college. she became that role model. she is the role model of a teacher i aspire to be one day. I hope to be just like her and impact other students to achieve thier goals and to make learning fun. I never got the chance to ever tell her how thankful i am to have her as a teacher and how much she has impacted my life.
My goal in life and in a career is to one day be a second grade teacher. i would want to have an open accepting classroom and one day call my small classroom Ms.Frasso university. To be a teacher i believe you have passion and love for kids. Nobody in thier right mind would want to deal with kids all day and such small pay and have no passion. i love to watch tik tok especially teacher tik Toks. one specific account that i catch myself watching for hours is a group of teachers who have a podcast together. they play just pieces of the podcast on tik tok. These 3 teachers talk about the good and the bad of teaching . i like them because they are honest and real when it comes to thier passion for teaching. They make me want to be a teacher more and more everyday. They also prepare me for challanges i might come across.

Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteI just love that story about your brother. How cool. And, Ms. Dunaway must be an amazing person. You are so fortunate to have someone like her to emulate.
