Teachers of the future

Why do I want to teach?

Well to put it simply-I want to make a difference. To a child a teacher can make or break their educational experience, they can build up or damage their confidence, a teacher points their pupil in a direction that will contribute to what kind of individuals they will grow up to be. Like Miss Honey, I want to be able to kick start a passion for learning, the very same passion my teachers encouraged. I want children to look at me and see values that would provoke them to be better people. I want to make a difference where and when it matters the most. Being dyslexic I always struggled in school, I never thought that I would be capable of pursuing the kind of jobs I dreamt of, as they all required academical achievement. However my teachers saw the best in me and motivated me to find different ways of learning, may it be through music or art, they made every effort to see that I did my very best academically. They contributed to shaping me into the person I am today.  So in conclusion, most people strive to leave a mark in the world, they fight to be noticed by their peers or their wider community. However, I believe that through children you can leave a legacy that will outlive you.

That’s why I want to teach.
