I really enjoyed learning about the different types of curriculum (explicit, implicit), teaching methods and models. Also, it was very eye-opening to learn about educational structure in different countries and how they compare with the United States. Lastly, I found it very interesting to learn about how law affects education and how the government is connected.
So I've learned a lot. I've learned about myself, what works for me and what doesn't. I have realized even more that I want to be a teacher. My reasons are:
1) I love kids - I feel like I do better relating to kids..My sisters call me the "Baby Whisperer" (babies like me!). I feel like I understand them well. Being with kids on a daily basis for my career would be so wonderful.
2) I love seeing someone's face light up when they realize they learned something new...nothing better...
3) I am really creative. I think I can come up with fresh new ideas and exciting teaching plans.
4) I'm good at communicating. I think I get along well with people and I am well respected by my peers. I will enjoy working with other teachers, parents and administrators.
5) I want my summers off...Sorry, just had to throw that one in there!
6) I think Education is by far one of the most important assets that we have. No one can take away our education. Giving kids knowledge is giving them power.
7) I like seeing kids make progress...I can't wait to see a student on the first day of school and see how far they go by the end of the year.
So that's it...I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. Have a great summer :)
8) I feel it is what I am most passionate about, what is in my heart and my true calling.
