        After this class and after completing my service learning I have decided that becoming a professional teacher is something I would like to pursue. I think through this course's material and through being in a classroom, teaching has again been something to spark my interest. When I began this course, I had decided I wanted to be a teacher because it was something that I thought had a lot of job security, something I could see myself excelling in and a career that would let me still have a family, yet provide for them. I now see through this course that teaching is a career that not only includes the reasons I originally saw as a plus, but also many other things.

  

    One thing that I really liked about this course was all of the technology involved and all of the little projects we did. This helped me to see that teaching was a career in which I could be creative. I have also loved being creative, and now see that through teaching you can create so much. Another thing I learned that I really love about teaching is that it is a career in which, you are always a leader. Throughout my life, I have accepted and wanted to be apart of leadership committees. I love being in charge, and love problem solving while working in team-like environments. Through these small things I have learned through this course and through service learning more about the teaching profession then I ever known possible.

So as you may have guessed, I am going to pursue this career path. I love the idea of becoming a teacher. I love children, and seeing them succeed and seeing their smiles, helps me to see just how rewarding this career can be. I plan to spend the next 3 years learning more about teaching.  I also plan to do some sort of service learning each semester so that I can see all different types of classrooms and all different types of teaching methods. I hope that one day I can be as all those teachers who have inspired me to be a better teacher. Overall, I loved this experience and hope that as I learn more I can continue into this program and succeed in this profession.
