Today, I'll be posting about the possible career path as a teacher. Teachers don't only grade papers all night, they also are the people that mold students minds and thus affect the minds of the next generation of mature adults. There are bad teachers and there are good teachers, however the teacher is the one who has the experience therefore students can't judge them until their teachings come in handy or not. Teachers know best. Most students, including me, are lost and need someone to guide them into a correct career path that is both enjoyable and suitable. Sounds pretty hard right? Yeah it probably is. Especially noting the factor that most teachers have around 70-90 students a school year. And here's the mini-cherry on top of the normal cherry on top of the sundae that is a teacher's life. They are expected to be a role model for the student body throughout their entire career. Pretty difficult job but, I personally think a career as a teaching is a great choice because you have the chance to pass on the experience you know most to those that are inexperienced. That's basically the definition of a teacher is it not? The government should actually PAY teachers. It's as if they're the backbone of our community and should be respected as such.
On to the next topic of discussion, a recent tragic event occurred in Connecticut. This infamous event was possibly one of the worst shootings in American history and it all happened in Sandy Hook Elementary. Although we witnessed the horrific evil potential of an Adam Lanza, Victoria Soto restores hope in humanity. Victoria, age 27, was killed while successfully protecting her first grade class. As she hid her students in closets and cabinets, the courageous teacher was murdered. She died a hero and her name should be remembered, recognized, appreciated. This teacher had a strong relationships with her students and literally would give her life for them. I'm not saying all teachers would do the same but I'm sure most would. Victoria is a hero, maybe the greatest one on this page. When I read about her, I realized she was exactly what I was hoping to capture on this blog. This is my tribute to the Sandy Hook teacher Victoria Soto.

Although the Connecticut incident was an isolated event it really shows the sacrafice that teachers make for their students. I presonally believe that techers are very admirable people and that if you chose this career path you would be a great teacher! Good luck with your search!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always relatable and inspiring Jonneh. I know careers and life in general is just one fork in the road after the other, but I'm certain you will be able to make the best choice when the time comes around. gj 10/10 aha#.!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a good career path for you because you would take the sacrifice that Victoria took for the students and you have a way with people that would make them like you. Also you are smart and would be able to teach well, so hopefully you get a job you want even if it is not a teacher.
