Motivation



1.) Why am I here? I am here because a couple of years ago I worked with a 3rd grade class and I loved it. Teaching the students was a great feeling. I loved watching each student progress and improve. This was an amazing and life changing experience for me. I worked with a teacher that taught me a lot and she was so wonderful with the children. I was like a sponge in this class, absorbing everything I could to learn more about teaching.

2.) What motivates you? The things that motivate me are: Rewards, the feeling of accomplishment, and learning things that will benefit me in teaching.

3.) Why do you succeed? I succeed because I have never had the desire to fail. Succeeding takes a lot of time, motivation, and discipline. I love the feeling of success.

4.) Why do you fail? Because I don't understand instructions. I don't know the material well enough. I didn't ask enough questions.

5.) How do you need to change your perspective and/or motivations in order to succeed in teaching? I need to think more about being a teacher and what will make me an awesome teacher rather than just being a good student and getting the A.
