Autobiographical Sketch


I chose to become a teacher because I feel that I can make a significant difference in students lives. My third grade teacher was very kind and always took care of her students and she has become my inspiration to pursue education as a career. I want to help each of my students to learn that they are unique and intelligent in their own way. I love helping children learn and I want to experience the joy of being able to assist children in the learning process.
Teaching also fits into my lifestyle as a mother. As a educator, my schedule will be similar to my children and I will be able to spend as much time as possible with them. Being educated and knowing the curriculum will also help me to teach my children at home and assist them with their school work. I look forward to having a respected career as a teacher that will allow me to also spend time with my family.
I feel that I have many personal attributes that will contribute to a successful career as a teacher. My commitment to complete tasks that I begin will improve my ability to fully teach my students the curriculum. I am an honorable person who follows the rules and I will always try to do what is most beneficial for my students. Also, I am friendly, so hopefully my students and their parents will be able to easily communicate with me. My creativity will help me to prepare a fun learning environment in my classroom and design enjoyable activities for my students. My ability to organize will help me to plan lessons for different courses of study and use class time efficiently. My personal attributes and my love for children and learning make me confident that teaching is what I was meant to do.
I see myself having a long life and accomplishing a majority of my long term goals. In the near future, I aspire to graduate college with a degree in elementary education. I hope to get a job at an elementary school and buy a home in a respectable neighborhood close by. I would love to someday have a second child and I hope to raise my children to be loving Christians and responsible citizens. After a fulfilling career as a teacher, I plan to retire with my husband and spend my old age traveling and enjoying my grandchildren. I know if I work hard and believe in myself, I can have a beautiful life and obtain my lifetime goals.
