My Teaching Inspiration

I had a very successful school career and I cannot credit my teachers enough for the amount of work they put in, they motivated me to become the best version of myself that I could be and helped me to achieve all of the goals that I set myself. I think the main reason I want to become an educator is because of their positive influences and how much they made me enjoy my time at school.

I want to become a primary school teacher because I want to have the opportunity to shape the minds of the future and have a positive impact on children’s lives. I also think that my personal attributes will help me become an educator because I am self motivated, outgoing and I have a positive outlook on life; I feel that these are some of the key qualities a teacher needs.

I love working with children and I find their enthusiasm to learn new subjects inspiring. I think that I will be a successful teacher and I want to show my ability to influence children through classroom and outdoor learning. I think that my creativity and ability to adapt to different situations will help me in becoming the best teacher that I can possibly be.
