Ashley Gachett and I am from Houston, Texas.I am a
child of six and is the second oldest and have geese as pets. I was raised in Ohio before my father
migrated to Houston. I was excited to come to Texas, because it will be
vacation weather all year round. Come to find out, it is not what it is all
cracked up to be. My major is
Kinesiology and my minor is Professional Education.
I decided to come to Angelo State University,
because it had the program that I wanted and heard that the program is really
good. I am currently working on my certification. Upon graduation, I hope to
find a school in Dallas,Texas to teach Physical Education to 7th and
8th graders and Health as well.
My top three roles of a teacher will be to encourage
your students. Students need that encouragement, because the earlier a child
knows what their passion is in life, the easier it is for them to start working
on their goals. I remember telling my teacher that I wanted to be the president
and she encouraged me to continue on with what I want to do in life. I am
thankful that she didn’t discourage me like my family did. Teachers might be
the only voice that can make or break a child. Although kids don’t know all of
the responsibility and things you have to do to become a president, teachers
should always encourage the child to do what they want to do. Second would be to get involved with their
students. I remember my first grade teacher. She was so involved in her
students outside of class that she took me home once when my parents did not
arrive. Students will feel comfortable asking questions and be more involved if
the teacher is involved too. I knew it was risky, because of the policy, but
she felt as if I was one of her children. It also embarrassed my parents to be
on time for now on so that they won’t look so bad. Third would be to teach the
class. Education is the most important role that teachers have.
