Why I want to be a teacher

In response to EDU 262 assignment:

My desire to be a teacher is primarily founded on two sources of inspiration. First, I recently have served as a camp counselor at a Bible camp in Port Alsworth, Alaska. During this experience, I witnessed the vitality of influence on children. Those authority figures that existed in the lives of the Alaskan children commonly tended toward negative influences. Their common environments reflected the same negative influences. The reality I saw was that one of the greatest influences on children comes from their school.

Second, I have consistently discovered that some of the most influential people in my own life were teachers who were willing to sacrifice their own time and effort purely for my sake. Not only for me, but they were also willing to sacrifice for every student. I have been poured into by many, and I want to give to others as they gave to me.

After a short time...

I've recently learned that computers are both the answer to all our questions and the reason we have to ask them in the first place.

This is just the beginning.

I am looking forward to founding a fundamentally educational thread of thoughts and musings and experiences.
