In the future I am planning to be a physics teacher. I will have to go to college so I can meet the requirements for the job. I am planning to go to UNI or UIU for college. I have not gone on any college visits, but I have been in UIU and I know about it. I have also gotten a tour or Wartburg and the University of Northern Iowa. I have also looked at other schools like the University of Minnesota. I want to wrestle in college so I’m thinking I will go to a D2 or D3 college. UIU would be a good pick because it’s close to home and I could make the wrestling team. They also have all the required courses I need to be a teacher. It will take four years to graduate and than I will go off and find a teaching job. I will need to look at schools offering jobs in this field and also where it is.
I like learning about physics because it’s interesting and there is so much more to learn that no one has ever thought of. It is also very hands on and you can do a lot of the things in physics in the classroom. I also want to be a teacher because a lot of teachers are boring and don’t allow kids to learn to the full extent they could be. Since I was little I have thought about teaching only because I wanted my class to have fun while learning. Now I really want to help kids and let them experience class in a way a lot of people don’t get to experience it.
I think school is important but it doesn’t have to be boring. Mr. Nuss has taught me a lot about learning and having fun in class. If you don’t enjoy what your learning g, than you probably wont learn a lot. If you enjoy the activities, even if you don’t necessarily like the topic you’re learning, than you will learn more than if your just reading it from a boring book.
I am hoping I will finish everything I am planning to do because I have wanted to be a teacher for a long time and I think I would enjoy learning more while teaching others. I want to teach at the high school level because high school students learn and comprehend a lot better than elementary students or middle school students. If I can teach the students in a way that’s fun or easy to learn, than I would be happy with what I did.
High school is very tough for me because I don’t enjoy the stuff I’m learning. If a teacher would allow us to enjoy or work, than I think I would do a lot better than I am. I want kids I teach to get good grades and not have to work really hard, but also learn. Most of my teachers I have had don’t teach this way and I just want kids to be able to learn in a way that will allow them to learn better than how I was taught.
