The Joy of Teaching

Children bring joy to my life and warmth to my heart. There is no greater reward than to be a witness as a child experiences a breakthrough in his/her academic or emotional progress. I enjoy working with children and always have enjoyed watching them explore and learn about themselves and the world around them. I am blessed with the gift and ability to work well with children and I feel teaching is my calling in life. My journey of life has been extraordinary and has brought me to this wonderful and exciting time of becoming a teacher. I am looking forward to becoming a teacher and a meaningful person in children’s lives. I want to be someone who can provide learning opportunities and information for children to become a happy and successful person. It is important to give children a well-rounded education that lies beneath reading, writing, and math. Through my enjoyment of teaching I hope to cultivate children’s knowledge base and broaden their skill set for use in future years. I believe that children are the light of the future, and it is important to help them understand that no matter what the circumstances are, they can accomplish their goals and be anything they desire. I feel it’s important early on to provide children with knowledge and life skills so they can reach their goals later in life. Watching children explore, learn, and grow brings joy to my life and continues strengthening my commitment to work with children. I have learned through experience that teaching and sharing my knowledge with others is rewarding for both the students and for me. I am a life long learner, constantly seeking more education and information to help me in my work and to satisfy me in my personal life. It is my passion to learn things and then share those things with others. Teaching and learning are filled with exciting times and I am looking forward to continuing the heart warming journey of teaching children. I am excited about teaching; that is why “I teach”.
