The first time I contemplated becoming a teacher was during my sophomore year of college. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work at Kent State’s Child Development Center. At the center, I was a student assistant who monitored and interacted with three to five year old children. One four year old boy, Aiden, captured my heart. Every day I looked forward to seeing all of the students, but especially Aiden. One Monday morning, I had woke up late for a class, my phone died, and everything just seemed to be going wrong. As soon I stepped inside the classroom and saw Aiden’s face, nothing mattered. I did not mention anything that had previously taken place, as soon as I sat down on the floor; Aiden ran up to me and gave me a hug. Six years later, I still remember that hug.
I always knew I wanted to make my own mark on the world. Teaching social studies to high school student is my way of giving back and creating a better world for young people. Education has always been a top priority for me. I want my students to be successful. I believe young people they should create their own definition of success. As a teacher, I intent to guide them to creatively develop their interest and intellect as they learn .I want to know my students, such as Aiden, will have the tools to conquer them any challenges they face.
