Since buddying the primary ones in my seventh year of primary, I have known I wanted to be a primary teacher. In my third year of secondary, I had the opportunity to do work experience at a school. This confirmed to me primary teaching was the career path I wanted to follow. I loved building relationships with the children, using my skills to gain their trust and finding different ways to support their learning. I thrived with the challenges that teaching and sharing knowledge with a class can bring and understood that individuals can have different needs that, when identified, can bring great results. I believe teaching is fun and that everyone, if given the correct support, can learn and enjoy school.
