Drive of Your Life

            My first choice for a career is to be an elementary school teacher for fifth graders in Andover, Kansas for about 10 years and then become and educational administrator (second choice).  This job requires 4 years of college and I would go to Tennessee State University and that would cost 132,000 dollars so I would graduate at 22 years old and be around 32 when I become and educational administrator.  I would like to teach because teaching is the most important job in the world.  If there were no teachers, there would be no other jobs.  Society would crash without teachers.  If I do become a teacher, I won’t give out a ton of homework or reading but I would give it out every other day or so.   I feel that teachers aren’t appreciated enough and that they aren’t paid enough.  Fifty thousand dollars a year doesn’t cut it for teaching the next generation how to make the world a better place.  Hopefully that will change in the future but pursuing this job would make me a better person because it teaches me patience, perseverance, and responsibility.

            After I am a teacher, I would like to become an educational administrator because it pays much better than a teacher right now and hopefully in the future.  This job also requires 4 years of college but I would have already graduated with my bachelor’s degree.  I would like this job because I would just walk into class rooms and observe students and compare them to how I was in school.  I would also tell the teachers what they are doing wrong with the class and what they are doing well.  I would help teachers figure out plans to let the students have fun but still learn and get good results.  I would first be the assistant principle then work my way up to being the superintendent.  I would probably have this job for 13-17 years and if I have it for more, I will enjoy it.
