Undergraduate / "both early childhood education and psychology" - 300 word education and career goals [3]
As a senior in high school instead of sitting in class for 90 minutes, I was standing in front of 19 first graders teaching them a lesson. My high school offers a class that you can take as senior to explore your future career, which I was fortunate enough to be enrolled in. I spent a total of 27 hours in a first grade class learning what it was like to become a first grade teacher. I observed small & whole lessons individual instruction, specials, snack time and progress checks. I remember walking into the class room on the first day being overwhelmed and nervous, but eventually I found my-self taking on the initiative to work with students independently, and as a class. After spending time in the first grade class I only became more passionate about become an early childhood educator. My career and educational goals are to attend (college name) and major in early childhood education. But I also feel that in today's society teachers also need a background in psychology, therefore I want to minor in psychology. After graduating from (college name) I feel that with a strong background in both early childhood education and psychology I will be able provide a learning environment in which every child will be able to succeed.
