Aspirations

What do you ASPIRE to?
Why did you take this course?  What do you hope the outcome will be for you?

For a long time I knew I always wanted to be a teacher.  There was something about the profession that just drew it towards me.  Perhaps it was the nightly dinner conversations that were always about education, as both my parents were teachers; or the idea of teaching the future, having a hand in supporting others in their quest of becoming a life-long learner.  In the end I knew teaching was for me.

I think my aspirations are more than just teaching.  It's about being the best person I can be in this life-time.  Treating others how I care to be treated and trying my best at being a good person.  To be kind, considerate, and passionate, to lead by example, and always keep striving for more.

I am taking this course because I like teaching others, helping them move forward, to support the change in education necessary to create the next generation of people who are also kind, communicative, risk-takers, who can problem-solve, while always continue to learn.

I know from observing my own learning, I too need to be inspired.  I need be helped to think outside my pre-set limitations, so that when I come back to teaching others, I have a fresh new perspective and vision for the future.  With this course I hope to challenge my ideas and push my learning forward.
