I selected this goal because I need/want to become more confident in myself and the abilities I have. I am a quieter person, who has a lot of passion for the things I want to accomplish. Since I am quieter I tend to doubt my abilities of achieving my goals and as a result I don't try to achieve certain goals because I get too nervous and overthink. With confidence I believe I would be able to accomplish a lot in my life.

I align with this goal the most because I am someone who always needs to have a specific plan.

Planning is crucial, but being okay with it going a different way is also important.

To me, teaching is about relationships. Establishing cooperative relationships with my students allows me to help learn from AND mentor them.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose establishing cooperative relationships, because I strive for this idea in all people that I meet. Not only do I want a cooperative relationship with coworkers in my future, but also with my future students. This type of relationship can build strong goals and lifetime friendships that can bring on more great things. As a student training to become a teacher, I hope this goal will help me in the future.

I want them to have a positive relationship with me and know that I can provide them support with whatever they need. I also think it is important that every student feels welcome in my class and like they have a place. These were things that I wanted as a student but did not have. I feel like I would have had a much better experience if I was able to.

Going forward as an educator, I want my students to see me as a positive light in their life. Many students are taking their education day by day and just trying to get by. This can be a very negative way to live. My goal is to be a teacher that my kids want to see on a daily basis and don't dread having to enter my classroom. This positivity can lead to much more successful outcomes in ag education and FFA as a whole.
