Undergraduate / "to become an extraordinary teacher",common application-extracurricular activity [8]
How's this?
I was just a senior in high school and had been given the opportunity to volunteer at the elementary school. I had been there for several weeks observing and learning effective leadership from the teacher I was working with. I was standing by myself in front of a classroom with eighteen 4th grade students. The words of a math lesson that I was instructed to teach easily flowed out my mouth despite my shy mannerism. At the end of my lecture I took a deep breath, the palms of my hands were moist with sweat, as I looked at their eyes gazing at mine, my fears suddenly faded. I had managed to maintain their attention for the entire lesson. It was that particular experience that made me suddenly realize how capable I was of becoming an extraordinary teacher who could aspire children and could lead them to a successful future.
