Reflection:

After all the experiences I’ve had, job shadowing and researching, I would definitely say this career is for me. Honestly I think that I would not be really happy with any other job. I love every aspect of it. I think it would be so good for me because I love kids. I think they are the greatest things and I think that elementary school children are the best to teach. They are at a young age and still have that strive to learn. Also, after interview with Mrs. Saggese, I really realized how rewarding being a teacher can truly be. Also I really love helping people; I think it’s the best feeling in the world and helping out children like this would be great. The only thing I dislike about this job is the salary. Typically, teachers do not get paid very much. I could not disagree more about this. Teachers are so important and I really do not think people realize that. In my interview Mrs. Saggese told me that if I was truly interested in being a teacher of any sort that I needed to prepare to be financially unstable. I think this would be a great career for me. To be a teacher there are a lot of qualities you need to have. As Mrs. Saggese said, “In order to succeed at being a teacher, you need to have patience, flexibility, management skills, and kindness.” I really thought about this once she told me and in order to be successful those personality traits really are vital. Also, she said that you really have to want to be a teacher to enjoy it. If you don’t really want to be one, then you won’t enjoy it. She wouldn’t be happier working anywhere else. This also really made me think about how being a successful teacher is really rare. Once you think about it, anyone can be a teacher, but to be successful you have to love everything about it. You can’t like it some days and not others. It’s kind of like you have to like it even though you know it’s not always going to be perfect. You have to look at it as if you know it’s not perfect but you find a way to look at the good things about it and you end up enjoying it.
