I Will Be A Teacher For All The Right Reasons

And I don't care about the negative opinions.

I Will Be A Teacher For All The Right Reasons
Pinellas County Schools / Vimeo

Yes, I want to be a teacher and no, I do not want your opinion on that. Have you ever tutored a child or helped them with their homework? Have you ever seen their face when they finally caught on to what you were trying to teach them? If you never have then maybe that is why you do not understand why I want to be a teacher. But, that is not even the main reason that I want to be a teacher even if it is one of them.

I want to be a teacher and I don't care about the salary. I want to be a teacher because I want to make children want to come to school. I want them to know school is a safe place for them to be no matter what is going on at home. I want to be a teacher and I want to show my students valuable lessons that maybe one day they will remember whether it's a life lesson or an educational lesson. I want to be a teacher because I have a desire to teach children and watch them learn.

I want to be a teacher for those moments that my students actually understand what I am teaching and they have the look on their face like they actually do. I want to be a teacher to help make a difference in their lives by chance whether they actually remember me or not. I want to be a teacher because I want to be there for my students when they need me whatever the reason may be. I want to be a teacher to make an impact on them and help them in any way I can.

I know every day will be different and every day will not be easy. I know I will have to overcome many obstacles and have to figure out what is right for my class. I know sometimes my students will act out and I will have to discipline them. But I know that I want to do all of this for the rest of my life. I want to be a teacher and what others think of that does not matter to me.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
