As a first year college student it still continues to excite me knowing that I am attending school to become a teacher. I continue to think about the excitement of job shadowing, lesson planning, and graduating with my teachers licensure. I think about my classroom and what it will look like and how I will decorate it. But most importantly I like to think about the kind of teacher that I hope and will strive to become.

I hope to be the kind of teacher that inspires students. I want to help them achieve their dreams and help them know they can do anything their heart desires. I want to encourage my students to never get up on what they do.

I hope to be the kind of teacher that my students can come to for anything. I hope they know that no matter what is going on in their life, they will always have someone to come to. I hope they know they are never alone, and that I will help them get through the struggles that are thrown at them.

I hope to be the kind of teacher that teaches students who will become future doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, politicians, and much more. I hope to be part of the reason why my students chose the career path they are chosen.

I hope to be the kind of teacher that can be firm when I need to be and silly when I can be. I hope to teach them right from wrong and teach them proper discipline. I hope to make learning fun and enjoyable. I hope that I will make my students love learning so much, that they will be eager to go to school every morning.

I hope to be the kind of teacher that my students can come to when they don't understand. I hope I teach them that no one is perfect and if they struggle with anything, they can always ask for help. I hope I teach them to ask questions when they need help, answer when others don't understand, and continue to try their hardest. I hope I teach them that no question is a stupid question and they should never be embarrassed to say they don't understand.

I hope to be kind of teacher that my students will always remember. I hope they will look back and remember all of the fun, filled memories they have all had in my classroom.
