Getting a degree in elementary education means you can teach any grade, but you are mainly going for younger students. The idea of being a elementary teacher is to teach young children basic development skills and to help them learn and grow.

To get this, I will go to the University of Regina where I will take classes for 5 years and do my internship in the first semester of my 5th year. The challenges of this education is that it will be very stressful and a lot of work, especially if I take 5 classes per semester plus working at my job.

It will be a job that I can be very creative with, have fun, make up my own assignments, and be myself. Essentially I view it as being paid for doing fun activities with children (not thinking about all the hard stuff). I will also have winter/summer breaks which will be a great time to do things I enjoy.

Seeing teachers struggle and talk about how hard it is scares me a bit, but I still believe its what I am meant to do. I am a lifeguard and swimming teacher right now so I have a bit of an advance in the teaching department and I am really enjoying it so far. I like travelling in the summer so it will be great to have the summer off to travel and probably teach more swimming lessons.
