Education

I learn best by having good teachings who make what they're teaching very interesting. It's hard to try to learn about things that you're not excited about. The more exciting the class is, or the teacher makes the material, the better it is for me to want to learn and to do better. For example I had a class back in high school, a government class. If it wasnt for the teacher I had I don't know if I would have done that well. He attempted, as much as he could, to bring everything to life, and it made it a little better for me to want to learn. Not only did he try to make it more exciting but he was also an excellent teacher, one of my best teachers I've ever had!

Education is everything to me. I've grown up in a house hold where my mom, dad and brother went to college and graduated. It was never a option for me not to go to college, and I've always wanted to go to college. Going to college means that you are expanding your knowledge and that you will most likely have a better paying job and something that you actually want to do for the rest of your life. Contrary to working at somewhere like Mcdonalds for as a job.

I know that if I want to have my dream job, which is to be a physical therapist, it is a must that I get an education first. I know I'm going to have to work extra hard to get a job because these type of jobs aren't just laying around. Its a very competitive field and I have to make sure I work hard and don't take my education for granite. That is why I am a bit skeptical. Not because I don't want it but because it's going to be a fight and I'm going to have to work hard. Not knowing if I'm going to have a job after eight years of schooling is a bit scary to me. But I'm learning to push those thoughts to side. What's important to me right now should be working hard and doing my best. I am also very excited about starting to take classes that are for my major, and starting the journey to what I will hopefully be doing for the rest of my life.

  1. I can totally connect with you on the point that having a teacher who is excited and keeps you actively involved in the material makes it 100x easier to do well in the class. If you have a boring class and a boring teacher the minutes just seem to crawl by.

  3. When you have a good teacher that is excited about the subject they are teaching it makes everything so much easier. I think this is the most important factor in a teacher. It is incredible how much more information you retain with a teacher that has enthusiasm. For some reason I just lock in to whatever they are saying and do not get distracted easily.
