BECOMING A TEACHER Page 2
I want to become a teacher because I, one day, ant to open up my own Day Care Center where I can teach and help the toddlers and babies learn and grow before they start in Pre- Kindergarten. I have always wanted to help younger kids ever since I had my son Anthony and my daughter Kaitlynn. I am having trouble finding a decent, inexpensive day care that I can enroll my children into. So, one day I decided, why tick them in day care when I can teach them things my self at home.
Extrinsic rewards are raises, promotions, bonuses and paid vacations. An extrinsic reward is usually given to you physically by someone for an accomplishment of something you had done. That type of reward is one that you would hang on your wall and show off to every person that walked through your front door. When you know you did something right and feel good and better about yourself, it is mainly because you know you accomplished something, whatever the accomplishment may be, but you do not physically receive a reward to hang up on your wall of your accomplishment. Teachers play a strong and vital role in the lives of twenty plus children in a community everyday of their lives. If you think about it, teachers play and active role in the children's lives just as much as the parents to, including sleep time. Teachers hope that parents are playing an active role in their children's education just like parents are hoping that the teachers are playing an active role out side of the school in the community, like fundraisers, games, whatever it may be, teachers should be part of it.
Teaching is said to be way more then just a vocation. It is said that teaching is a calling. You should always take your callings seriously because it could lead you into a new place, such as God. Teaching is most definitely my calling
