I aim to bring postivity and comfort into my future classroom. Wether this is students or other teachers I want to be a person that people can come to and know that I am there to help. Although I am aware that I can't help everyone I want to make an impact on as many lives as possible since I am beyond lucky to have the oppurtinitys to be able to do that. I will strive to make my classroom a postive place that students want to come to and want to learn in and that starts by making healthy connections with them.

My second goal is to push myself to the best of my abilitys. When I become an educator I want to know that I am not done there and I will set goals for myself to become a stronger person. Not only will I do this for myself but also for my students so that I can hoepfully set influnce and become a role model to them if they do not have one at home.

There is a quote that reminds me of what I think about teaching that I have learned from being in this course. The quote is from an anonymous but it states, "When the cons outweigh the pros, learn to let it go."  The reason I feel this relates to teaching is that there are going to be hard days and days that may make you question your choice but at the end of the day that isn't what matters. I believe that teaching should be for a passion and if your passionate about something then the pros will outweigh the cons every time.

My third belief statement is that every student should have at least one adult that they can go to for anything. Healthy relationships are vital in making the child feel comfortable and safe and as an aspiring teacher I would not know if there is an adult in their life who makes them feel this way, so I believe I should go out of my way to create this safe environment by building healthy relationships with students. Although I am sure I have had healthy relationships with teachers in the past one example that particularly stands out to me is my freshman-year softball coach. Coach Stathus was amazing from the first time I met him he filled my experience with positivity and matched my energy. He helped me break down my original shyness and become a leader. He would randomly have dance breaks with me and always shared a jar of pickles. He was there for everything I needed softball or life-related. I have had many coaches in my life but he has been my favorite and most influential thus far. When I become an educator I aspire to make my students feel the same way by providing them with an open environment for everything from school to whatever it is the need to talk about.

I believe that every student is different and deserves to be treated as an individual. I read a quote by Euginia Herlihy that says, “Comparison is the most poisonous element in the human heart because it destroys inequity and it robs peace and joy.” This quote goes hand in hand with what I believe because if a child falls victim to comparison by someone they look up to it can take away their happiness which is not creating an ideal learning environment. In my personal experience I grew up with older brothers one of which was the definition of "perfect" he was a two-sport varsity athlete who could have continued in college, he had over a 4.7 GPA, and his social life never lacked either. On the other hand, I am the opposite, and many teachers clarified that to me. I am not a bad student or athlete by any means I try my hardest in everything and have worked so hard but I just don't have a natural talent that he had. One teacher in particular my freshman-year math teacher after handing back my test said your brother wouldn't have gotten that although he meant that in a joking matter, I felt so defeated because in my head I have always felt less than him and hearing my teacher say that just proved it to me. Over the rest of the year, I hated going to math and kept my head down every time I passed him. To my luck, he retired but I still don't forget that day and it makes me as a future educator never want to make a child feel that way. Not only will treating the student as an individual help grow our bond but also help grow their self confidence within themselves.

Another thing that I believe is that a child's life should be filled with positivity. There are so many horrors in the world and I believe that in educating children, especially younger children, educators should do their best to spread happiness amounts them. This can create a more welcoming and safe environment for the students at school considering we may not know what they are going through at home it could be all negative so spreading positivity among the students despite what they are going through at home is going to be something I extremely value as a future educator. Although I do not have a personal story one thing that this makes me think of is when Ms.Gigl came in to talk to our educators class and she shared that there are students that are my peers who are homeless and that was extremely eye-opening to me that I really have no idea to all the struggles of the people around me. So applying that when I become a future educator spreading as much positivity as I can because I really do not know what they are dealing with once the last bell of the day rings.

This image is just saying Be Positve which is something that I want to be in my future classroom. I understand that some days are going to be better than others and being postive one hundred percent of the time is just unrealistic but I will always strive to remain as postive as I can.

This image is comparing an apple to an orange. This is how comparing two seperate children they all have their own strenghts and weaknesses and you can not compare the two considering they are two completly diffrent things.
