It has been a crazy busy year so far. I am in my level 2 program at Utah State University and have been busier than I had ever been! I wanted to take a minute and tell you why I want to be a teacher (that and my professor is reading this for one of my classes).
When I was little I actually wanted to be a professional shoe tie-er. I saw a football game on TV when all of a sudden this girl ran out onto the field, tied the football players shoe and then ran off the field. I was in awe! That sounded like the best job in the world! I soon found out that they were trainers so I actually started my college education wanting to be a physical therapist or sports trainer.
It wasn't until I went to in school, fell in love, got married and ran off with him, started a family of my own, stopped going to school, raised a family, and had a ton of surgeries on my wrist that I decided that I wanted to be a teacher instead!! :)
It wasn't until my older two were in school themselves and I became a substitute teacher that I really fell in love with teaching. I love when you work with a student and they finally understand the concept that you are trying to teach them. I love that you can make learning fun. So my philosophy about teaching is this: Every student has the right to learn and every student is a kid who wants to have fun. Why not make learning fun for everyone?!
That was probably the least professional sounding philosophy, but that's why and how I want to teach my classroom. That evil pinterest has given me soo many ideas that I cannot wait to become a teacher and see if I can use them in my classroom. I would love to teach first, second or third grade, but I will take whatever grade I can get! :)
