Teachers are the building blocks and are the ones that help mold, shape and bring out the best that an individual is capable of. A teacher should also believe that each person is valuable and therefore should be given the ability to learn. A teacher should also strive to ensure that, that individual sitting in the classroom feel as if they are the most valuable, unique and special person at any given moment. My desire is to be that teacher. Teachers have to be flexible to meet all challenges facing being educators and I am up for the challenge. As a teacher I feel that I can be an example of what I expect my students to be. I will strive for the best and seek and use all resources at my disposal to bring out the best in each student I am assigned to.
When an individual leave my classroom setting I want him/her to know I have given my best therefore they can go and be their best. I see myself as not only being a teacher but also a mentor for the future leaders in this society. When we as teachers teach, we should help bring out the best in each person. Excellence is always the goal, once the goal is set I feel as a teacher I will enable the students in my care to strive for the spirit of excellence. We may not all get to the finish line at the same time my goal as a teacher is to make sure we all get there. At the end of the day I want the students in my care many years from now say to their children or grand children I once had a teacher that made a difference in my life. I want them to remember always the accomplishments that they achieved as a group was always celebrated and each person had a part and was unique. This is some of the reasons why I want to be a teacher. I want to be that building block that helps create the building.
