"In fact, to every young person listening tonight who's contemplating their career choice: If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you," - Barack Obama -
Let's start thinking of teachers like South Korea thinks of theirs like "Nation Builders." America will only be as successful as our education system is. If we cannot PROPERLY educate our future generations, we will not continue to be this great, successful, and innovated country.
Education cannot afford to be "cut back" anymore. We all need to work together to make us rise up out of being in the 9 percent tile with math and science education. When I say we, I mean teachers, administration, parents, guardians, and OUR POLITICIANS.
Three cheers for education, and hopefully a better policy than NCLB.

OH MY CAREER!
I am about to start week number five of my 16 week's of student teaching. It's crazy to think how fast the weeks fly by especially when working with kids all day. Student teaching has been such an educational experience and has reaffirmed my choice to get my masters in teaching. I never thought I could find a career that I would be so passionate, energized and excited for until I started on this path of getting my masters in teaching.
I know so many people that work in a job or a career that they don't like and are not happy in and it's sad. I know people that make good money in a job that they do not like and are not happy with and this also makes me sad. I always knew that I did not want to be one of those people that were not happy in a career, and I won't be. For the first time in my life I feel so happy with where my life is headed. I am a few months shy of graduating with my masters in the art of teaching with a dual license in both special education and elementary education. I wake up every morning and get to spend the majority of day working, helping and hopefully inspiring children to work hard in school! I am helping shape the future lives of these kids, and of our country. That statement alone gives me the chills. Wow I am so blessed and happy to have been given the opportunity to find and choose a career path that is truly meant for me!
Enrolling in this masters program was just the beginning of opening the door to my future, and now student teaching has really opened the door wider for me and has shown me the light of my future. THe light is so bright and it has reminded me that I am on the path towards doing what I was put on this Earth to do and that is to teach children, especially to teach children with special needs. I am writing this because I want to continue to inspire those people out there who are struggling and looking for answers in your current life with your current job. I know how you feel and I want you all to know that you can find the answers you are looking for! I found my answer and now look where I am! To all my friends who are in the process of or are in the career path they have wanted and felt like where meant to do, continue to inspire, love, show happiness and work hard towards seeing your career light shine ever brightly.
"Shoot for the stars because if you fall short at least you'll land on the stars!"
Till next time....may you be happy and well!
