Personal Statement: A Career As A Teaching Assistant
After I graduated from college I entered into a career where I thought I would have a lot of happiness and success. I rapidly came to the realization that something was missing from my job, and it took a toll on me mentally and emotionally. I had always wanted a career where I could make a difference and change people's lives. That was when I had the ah-ha moment that I wanted to be a teacher. I discovered that I wanted to be the person who molded and influenced the leaders of tomorrow, I wanted to be the helping hand, and the positive role model. That was when I came to the decision to quit my job and become a teaching assistant. Since that time, I have traveled the road to being a teacher and I know it is a road I will want to travel for

    Personal Statement: A Career As A Special Assistant

    I would like to apply for Special Assistant. I work well with others, but am also self-motivated and can get things done without someone constantly reminding me what I need to do. I am the president of the Zero Waste club, and an honor student. I take pride in everything I do, and strive to go above and beyond what is expected from me. Working well with others along with good communication is a strong suit of mine. In soccer I am center defense (sweeper), so I have to tell the outside defenders who their mark is, and make sure the other team does not get past us. In tennis I play doubles, so I constantly communicating to the other player to make sure one of us has the ball, or to tell them that it is out so they do not have to work as hard.…

    Vanessa Reyes Preciado: Personal Statement

    Since I was initially a nursing student when I entered college, I had never considered becoming a teacher. Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted a career where I could serve others, and I always believed that being a nurse would allow me to achieve this goal. Still, I fell in love with the education field the moment I started volunteering and aiding in my aunt's classrooms, which they taught grades TK– 4. I immediately changed my major because it makes me feel extremely fortunate to think that one day I would be able to teach, laugh, and help my kids in the same manner that my aunts do. To begin with, I worked as a student intern, as a tutor for the Advancement Via Individual Determination program for four years.…

    QTLS

    I can clearly remember from a young age trying to help my younger family members with their school work. I enjoyed helping people, as I progressed through life, I liked coaching members of my team but never pursued it any further until one morning I woke up and decided that I no longer wished to work in a bank. I longed for a change and whilst I was on maternity leave, I looked into the possibility of entering teaching. I cannot afford this I thought, I must be mad wanting to leave a perfectly good job and go back to university, oh well I'll just apply and see what happens..... 6 months later and I'm holding an acceptance letter, was I really going to do this.... YES.…

    Pediatric Nurse Advisor Essay

    A wise person once told me to “find a career and I will never be without a job.” I took that statement and ran with it! My freshman year everyone was motivating and questioning me on my future and what I wanted to do with. It started off as a counselor until I realized I do not necessarily BASK listening to INCONSOLABLE stories all day! Next it was a meteorologist, but can’t we look outside and see that it's raining? Then it was a teacher, and for that one let's just everything isn't for everybody! I found myself becoming BEWILDERED and feeling DESOLATED because I had peeked my junior year; the year where everything is supposed to be VAST and ready to go, and I was still AMBIVALENT on what I wanted “in the real world” as I heard in the many EXPOUNDING lectures. It was not until the summer of my senior year that God had finally put it in my heart to become a Pediatric Nurse Advisor; to become this person that can ASSUAGE and ABATE people, to become the…

    Professional Career Action Plan

    When I first started out going to school after college I thought that I wanted to be a teacher and so right after high school I started going to school to be an elementary teacher. I quit school because I wanted to move out of my parent’s house and be on my own so I got a full time job. After I moved and got stable I went back to get my early elementary degree.

    Personal Narrative: A Career As A Teaching Assistant

    When I was younger, I was an introvert and lacked communication skills. Holding conversations with adults were no problem, but when it came to my peers I always struggled. I was trapped in my head to the point of having panic attacks. When my family fell under financial difficulty, I found a job as a valet driver. I was required to communicate constantly with customers and fellow employees. I was forced outside my comfort zone to take initiative and communicate effectively with customers. In college, I advanced my communication skills when I became a teacher’s assistant and fundraising coordinator for FIMRC. As a teaching assistant, I gained confidence interacting with my peers, as I held four hours of discussion each week. As fundraising coordinator,…

    How Field Experience Changed Me

    It was not until my freshman year in high school that I knew I wanted to be a teacher; better yet, a Band Director. I had always had a passion for music but never actually thought about pursuing it as a career. It was not until my mom and I sat down and talked about my college career path. I was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to do when I “grew up”. It was then that my mom suggested that I be a High School Band Director because of my passion for not only music but also marching band. I then gave it some thought and knew for sure that that was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.…

    Goal Statement

    Goal Statement

    My main reason for wanting to become a teacher is because I love children and I love working with them. Upon graduation from Boston College, I've had the opportunity of working in New York City public schools as a substitute teacher and at a privately owned nursery school in the Bronx as a part-time instructor. My experiences have been very rewarding thus far and have inspired me to want to continue along this path and seek further knowledge in the field. I can't even begin to describe the joyous feeling of knowing that I've touched the lives of the kids-- it is truly priceless. When kids pass tests, when kids say, "I get it," when kids come in and say, "Thanks. You're the best teacher I ever had," or "will we have you again" that means a lot. They make me laugh, they give me hugs, they cheer for my presence, they are observant, and most of them just need a little push. They give me nicknames, they miss me when I'm gone, they try so hard to do what I ask so much of the time. The most amazing feeling of all though is when the kids tell me they want to be just like me and teach just like me and are able to go in front of the class and teach others what I have just taught them. I have finally discovered what I am truly passionate about and am pursuing this passion by continuing my education so that I am able to fulfill my goal of being the best that anyone possible could be. This is what has driven me to want to go to Mercy and continue my education to become a teacher.…

    College Major Essay

    When I started college, I had no idea what direction I wanted to go. There were so many possibilities: business, the arts, nursing, etc. All I knew was that I wanted to enjoy my career. I didn’t want to fight to get up every morning in order to make myself go to work. I finally realized where my heart was set when I began working at a summer camp in 2008. I worked with third grade and loved every moment of it. I have worked with different age groups over the last few years and have come to realize that I love working with children. This is how I figured out what I wanted to do.…
