You know its bad sign when your assignment is about why you want to be a teacher and you're having trouble..
I sort of know why I want to be a teacher but at of the day i dont know for sure..at the moment I like the idea of being a teacher and think i'd be good at it..Well hope i'd be good at it..
Its more appealing to me then a desk job..i wasnt really good at that..i was good at answering the phone but that was the social easy part of it all..
But i find myself wondering do we ever know what we want? I mean..how do you really know? Are we meant to know? When are we meant to know? Will we 'just' know?
And sometimes when you get what you want it makes you realise you really didnt want it in the first place..
I think I want to be a teacher..but i dont know..Im fairly confident i do but not 100%..nearly everyone i've told that im doing education say i'd be good at it (most ppl say its coz i can be bossy..bitches)..
So to anyone..how did you know you wanted to do something?? Any signs??

Katie,
I didn't know I wanted to be teacher for a long time. I mean I knew it might be suited to me and in fact half way through my course I had a crisis and almost switched to a communication course. But once I got to prac and found out I loved it I realised that it was def for me. It will take some time to really figure out if it is for you. There are so many qualities that make a good teacher. It's got nothing to do with how smart you are, or how patient you are. It's got nothing to do with how bitchy you are or how good you are at being a leader. It's about being able to be all those things as well a someone who wants to inspire and encourage. It's about being someone who is willing to put up with frustration and hard work in order to see the next generation grow into something special.
Often people say teachers do so much work for such little reward. But the reward comes in the form of the unexpected. When a child finally smiles at you because they understand something they've been struggling with for so long. When a child manages to get an A after a year of C's. When a child comes to you and tells you that if it wasn't for you they wouldn't of got through the year. That's the pay off. So if you are willing to go through all the bullshit, all the hard work and all the annoying parts of being a teacher for that reward, then you are def on the right track.
Katie you will make an excellent teacher. I wouldn't worry about it. No teacher truly knows what kind of teacher they are going to be until they are in the classroom. No teacher understands the significance of their role until they actually start to make an impact.
You're just starting out and it's so exciting! Whatever you decide to do you will be a success.
Stilly.
