Personal Statement ‘Be human.’ That is the words of my mentor said to me at my first class of Drama in Education. Being a teacher has always been my dream since childhood. In my opinion, teacher is one of the greatest career in the world because it helps people to be a better person. Hence, three years ago, I applied for the major of Drama in Education of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, where I started my journey of being a qualified teacher. Studying Drama in Education in the Shanghai Theatre…
Research In kindergarten, my teacher asked the class to draw what we wanted to be when we was grown ups. Crayons danced across sheets of paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night, when looking down the line and seeing pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze of fire, and astronauts leaping across the moon. To all of us these careers were seen as typical dreams of five-year-olds. Later…
people think of a good teacher they think of one that is nice, encouraging, trusting, and many other adjectives. Unlike most people, who change their mind on the career they want, I knew from the start that I wanted to be a teacher. I have many goals I hope to achieve when I am a teacher for example, making class a fun and exciting environment for the students and have them look forward to coming to class. I knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was young because I had a teacher that I had a…
My Dream: I was around 20 years old and living in New York City, just coming back from work. I don’t remember precisely what I did as a job, but I saw myself walking out of the hospital and coming back home to a tiny apartment in the middle of the city. The scene shifted to the next morning when I was traveling to Atlanta to see my family, but I found out that my sister had…
My biggest decision in life has been attending Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy. This would entail having to begin college classes my Sophomore year of high school. This also means that I have to leave most of my friends at my old school. Who did I consult? How did the good overweigh the bad? Why did I decide to apply for Valley? When I first began to think about my future I always thought I would be someone at Central Davidson High School. I had no idea that I could transfer to a…
My passion for art has followed me since I was five years old, when I was inspired by my kindergarten art teacher, who told us we could paint grapes whatever color we wanted. Being given that freedom made me feel ecstatic. That freedom I was able to have with art gave me a sense of purpose, even at a young age. However, when I moved to a different elementary school, the art teacher stripped us of that freedom. She was very cold and made people dread going to art class, including me. That…
Occupational therapy, has been a dream career as early as the age of eight. As a kindergarten student, I began to receive occupational therapy services, not quite understanding what this was or why I was having to be pulled away from my friends. As I grew, these OTRs and COTAs , who worked with me on my sensory needs and my educational demands, made a great impact and steered my goals and dreams into this field. Having five years of occupational therapy made a huge impact on my grades and…
Teaching is singly one of the most important jobs in the world. Regardless of the salary, I believe it is also one of the most rewarding jobs as well. Without teachers, you would not have educated citizens that can benefit society. Without teachers you wouldn’t learn math, science, and english. You wouldn’t understand the history of the world and how it works. You wouldn’t understand how words can be manipulated and how to speak in other languages. In addition, teaching goes beyond core…
“Don’t ever let anyone tell you can’t do something, keep believing in your dream work for it, and it will come true. My friends laughed when I told them I wanted to be a music producer, my teachers believed I would end up dead; but now look at me. I made my dream come true. And I believe that anyone can make their dream come true, I bet my career on it.” As soon as Harmony Samuels was talking about his experience of his dream coming true, the auditorium was filled adults from different schools,…
All in all, I believe that you need to work hard for what you want. Everyone has a dream. However, achieving that dream is difficult because no one will hand you your dream. Instead, you have to work hard in order to achieve success. Life is complicated. There will be obstacles in your way but those are a part of life. There will be differing opinions regarding the definition of success and good versus evil/bad. Our opinions are shaped through the interaction with societal members, family, peers…
