What Inspires Me in Life By Destiny A.
I want to be an elementary school teacher. When I was in the fifth grade, I had an outstanding teacher who inspired me to be a teacher just like her. She had positivity that would fill the room. She taught effortlessly, and she had a kind heart. I want to represent that same image of being a teacher for children. A teacher plays a huge part of a child’s life.
Children deserve a positive influence who wants to help. Teaching has always been my dream job. My family, some of my teachers, and peers have tried to change my mind into doing something with a higher pay. However, I believe that I am meant to teach. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else reguardless of the income. I have always loved working with children, and I would love to give back in the school system.
I want to major in elementary education, and obtain a minor in mathematics. I have always been outstanding in math. I enjoy math classes and would like to go further into that. I am passionate about what I want for myself. I have this goal set, and I am am completely focused on completing it for a better future. I am a first generation college student.
My parents have always worked hard, but we still live from pay check to pay check. I have worked extremely hard throughout high school to maintain almost all perfect grades to ensure that I can further my education. I have always been a 100% perfectionist at everything I do. I like to complete things way ahead of time. I like to get whatever task is ahead done as soon as I can. I don’t leave anything lingering, waiting to get done.
I was just accepted into Alice Lloyd college this summer. This is great opportunity for me and my dream college. I am currently trying to figure out how I can pay for the expenses. Since my parents aren’t able to contribute, I am on my own. Scholarships are a huge help for me. I have been working at the Heritage Hall nursing home for longer than a year now. I have been saving almost all of my money to buy a vehicle for transportation as I begin college.
I am a hard worker with a strong mind. I don’t let any obstacle stop me from improving my future. I have already started taking college classes. I have completed Duel Enrollment Advanced Math and Duel Enrollment U.S. History.
As I start my senior year, I am scheduled to take seven more college classes and a class called Introduction to Education 1. I wanted to get ahead and complete as much as I could while in high school. As a first generation college student, college is a new experience for not only me, but my family as well.
I am excited to begin college. It’s a wonderful learning, and social experience. My number one priority is graduating college, and then beginning my career as an enthusiastic elementary school teacher!
