Comments Off on Origins
Where it all began… I find it extremely difficult to pinpoint a specific time or memory in which I was inspired to embark on the journey towards becoming a teacher. Whether it was my childhood-self organising pretend school trips for my pupils and gathering money from family members to put in plastic sleeves, to be …

Comments Off on Einstein was wrong…
Einstein once said: “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education”. An odd quote, perhaps. However, I have never claimed to be Einstein and will never claim to be. To me, Einstein was wrong. Education inspires, enlightens and drives children to prosper and be the best they can be and as an […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Making a Difference
Throughout my life I’ve probably been asked about a thousand times “What do you want to be when you’re older?” And although my answer to that question has often changed, I’ve always, without a doubt, found my way back to the same answer: “I want to be a teacher.” I want to be a teacher […] Continue reading

After leaving school with grades for University but no guidance in that direction, I found myself wandering aimlessly from one form of employment to another.

Eventually I entered into the care field running a Homeless Unit and working in a locked Residential Childrens […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Teachers make the world a better place
Every time I tell people I want to be a primary school teacher they always ask, “Why? Children are crazy, hyperactive and annoying.” However, I always remind them that there are many benefits to being a primary school teacher, for example it’s a very rewarding job, no day is ever the same and of course, the long summer holidays. From the age of about 8 I always […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Finding Direction
I left school not really having a clue what I wanted to do. It was quite a lonely and daunting period as all my friends were prepared and had every detail of their plan down to a T. I have always had a great interest in working with children, but as a mere 17-year-old, I […] Continue reading

Comments Off on My Princess Popstar Alternative
I’m not going to lie and say that if you’d asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up that I would have always replied “a teacher” (because to be honest, I still kind of want to be a Princess Popstar). However, as my mum is a teacher, I have grown up with […] Continue reading

To me, becoming a primary teacher was always the path I was walking on. I can still remember a task in second year Social Education in which we had to research our dream job, then make a poster on it. Our guidance teacher stressed to us that when we left sixth year, she would not […] Continue reading
