I chose to pursue a career in primary teaching because the opportunity to be a part of shaping and enhancing a child’s mind for their future is deeply important to me. Primary education will influence some of the first of many important decisions children will make throughout their lives. I am passionate about helping children from different backgrounds and cultures come together to learn to respect and communicate with each other at the same time as individually developing their own opinions about themselves and the constantly changing environment around them. In their primary education children can learn to thrive and enjoy each others company as well as discovering skills and hobbies they will take with them into their futures and possibly their careers. I would love to have a positive impact on children and be part of the reason they come home from school feeling content and successful. I love to see children developing their knowledge and understanding more and more each day, therefore would love the opportunity to be able to support and guide students as they mature into confident and responsible members of society who are keen to learn and contribute to the world around them.
