'Personal Thoughts'
As a future educator, I really really hope to inspire children to follow their dreams and to teach them the importance of perseverance. In today's world many children need great role models and need a great sense of encouragement. I want to make a difference in children's lives and to lead them in the right direction. When I look back over the past ten years, so many horrific world events have gone on such as: September 11 attacks on the world trade center, war in Iraq,Virginia Tech massacre, Hurricane Katrina damaging 80 percent of New Orleans. I want to teach children that tragic events will happen, but they have to be strong and be able to overcome adversity. Unfortunately, we do not live in a secure world, but it is very important to inspire children to follow their heart in making good decisions in the future.

Very nice post!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, and you are completely right, kids need good role models and I think, we as teachers must give them the best example for them to follow and so that way we'll help them succeed and overcome all obstacles.
One thing that I would like to add to your post is that all those tragic events you mention do affect children, but I think right now our children are being most affected by the horrific amount of violence and insecurity we are facing here in the border with Juarez. It's a very sad situation the one we are living and I am really concerned about it, because I am not sure what is it that we can do to help our children face this terrible experiences.
i would like to say you don't see people very often wanting to inspire children thats an awesome trait to have, you'll make an awesome teacher ;).
