A Career In Secondary Education
As I begin my journey along in the pursuit of achieving a history major with a certification in secondary education. My desire to achieve these two goals is based around my earlier childhood and my desire to help students that share a similar desire to learn the past that I have. Though I can not exactly pinpoint where my interest in pursuing history began, I believe this all started with my grandparents. With my grandfather serving in the United States Navy, during the Second World War, he would create my interest in discovering more about that period of time. Though he never shared many stories of his service, I would constantly ask my parents about this period of time. Through my own personal studies, I was able to learn more about

    Studying history is interesting to me because you can see the difference from other areas and eras and compare them to present day. I also love to learn about wars, why they started and how they changed the world. I don’t like how we never seem to get the full picture. Somebody’s side of the story is lost, or not told correctly. I would like it much more if we had more information about everything.…

    Throughout my entire life, I have been the outcast that loves history. I remember my peers being flourished by science, math, and art; subjects that didn’t interest me. I found a love for history in 3rd grade, when my teacher would speak passionately about the impact of Dr. King Jr. and the hardships of the Great Depression. My fascination towards history ultimately led me to my interest in government.…

    I have chosen to study History because I believe it is the most important and relevant subject there is. I have a desire to understand the social and economic processes that have produced modern society. History has fascinated me since early childhood, when I loved to visit museums and historical sites. As an academic subject, my love for History was triggered when I studied the Second World War as a 10 year old. I could not believe the immense impact it had on the world, and the sheer scale of it. It in turn had a huge impact on me, and consolidated my love for the subject.…

    A three-hour bus ride, a modest amount of time standing in the heat and a short walk through history. Standing where the Battle of Horseshoe Bend took place, words from class float through my head as I picture the battle taking place. I can't express how much more I appreciate having been able to walk where the men and women before me made history. Regretfully, I am reminded of how little I cared for history and wished I had. Teachers would tell me that we study history because if we don't, "history will repeat itself." What a terrible sell for history! If I were to sit down with my son, future children, and leaders, I would paint a story or take them on an adventure like we did today. History is the language we all must learn to speak.…

    I believe that greatness is within all of us; we just need a little help finding it sometimes. I have come to understand that one caring person can make all the difference in someone else’s life. As I venture further into my teaching career, I hope to help my students to Education is a journey of seeking answers and experiencing. Every human being has the ability to learn and apply meaning to education. Learners should not be encouraged to surrender to the ideals and beliefs of a set curriculum. Rather than settling for the minimum learning requirements written out based on the expectations of the state, students should encounter knowledge, build a solid structured foundation, and then branch out to master the skills and ideas that they wish to develop and pursue. Learning then becomes a map of the sea. Students may be influenced by the way the wind blows and the tossing of the waves, but they have the knowledge and ability to adjust their sails to follow the path of the desired horizon. As educators we should not be neutral in our teaching, but radical and dynamic so that our students can learn beyond what is normal, static, and unchanging. I believe that the historical foundations of knowledge and the truths revealed by the past are vital to the knowledge of the future, but I also believe that we are agents of change and that we should teach our students to not only build upon and consecrate the truths of our past, but to challenge them and use them to think critically and make new history.…
