Professional Statement (Part 3 of 3)

Why I Want to Become a Teacher(continued)

I have never taught in a school. I have never tutored a child. On paper, I may not appear to be a promising mentor. I also know I probably may not appear on the short list of candidates. But, teaching has always been my dream. I may have stumble on the way to that dream, but I am one step closer to it. All I ask is that I am given the chance. I believe with time and experience, I can change my resume to appear appealing to any skeptic. I will make it my goal to convince parents that I can educate their children proficiently.

I could have written this paper with all my job and life experiences, but that would not tell you much. I purposely presently how strongly I feel on teaching. I wish to demonstrate what I can do with my actions. I understand it is similar to asking an untrained cadet to fight a war. However, I am willing and able to do the work. I only ask that I am given the opportunity. Teaching our children is like a privilege, given by their parents. It is a show of their trust and faith. I will not betray their expectation. I know that I can do it, and if given the chance I know will perform beyond expectations. That is a promise I will keep to myself, and to those who have granted me this opportunity.
