A job can be simply defined as a regular activity performed in exchange for payment. I believe that today you have to be extremely gifted at a job in order to be able to stay with it your entire working career. Nowadays many people are move from job to job seeking stability in their lives. Almost everyone enters the work force to try and provide whatever they can for their family. My dream job is to become a teacher.
I come from a long line of teachers, my great grandmother, my grandmother, father, older sister, and soon my older brother. Also I want to be a teacher. It’s my dream to make a difference in people’s lives at an early age where it will impact the rest of their lives. If I teach a child who goes on to be a lawyer, doctor, engineer, and professional football player and they can still remember me, I will be proud. I want to be able to share my knowledge with kids who more than deserve the best education they could possibly receive. A teacher’s job is very interesting, but at the same time is very difficult. Teaching is a multi-faceted profession and because of this, there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of being a teacher.
On the one hand; to be a teacher is a great honor. The teacher is a manufacturer of generations in any country and at any time. He/she helps students to know life. He/she opens the door to unknown worlds. A teacher is like a friend or adviser of students, who shows or advises the students how to learn or to do something. Also, teaching could be an interesting job. Teachers always meet and communicate with interesting people. Sometimes a teacher can go to abroad and see how foreign students learning, so he/she has a chance to see a world and to meet other people. Teachers can organize excursions with students to visit some interesting places in their country or other countries. In addition that teacher can have a lot of children. All his/her students can be like his/her own children. It is good for a teacher especially if he/she has not got his/her own family and children. Then his/her students are a family for him/her and teacher does not feel lonely.
On the other hand, teaching can be a complex job. The teacher not only has to teach students, but he/she is expected to be a friend to them. He/she should be interested in the students’ world: their problems, fashions, views to life and enjoyments. Also, a teacher has not much free time for his/her family, he/she forgets his/her own children, he/she has to work not only at school but at home too, a teacher’s pay is not very big. So a teacher has not much free time for himself/herself and his/her family. Teachers spend a lot of time at school and even they have to work at home: to make lesson plans, to do all those reports about theirclasses .
Thus, I was probably born with a white board marker in hand, my dream of becoming a teacher doesn’t have to do with the fact I have come from generations and generations of teachers. It has to do with the fact that I couldn’t see myself being happy doing anything else. I honestly believe that God has pointed me in the direction of teaching so teaching is my passion and my dream.
