There are many tasks that the children are able to choose from. I structure the environment to offer opportunities for children to share information about themselves, their families, and experiences.

Because Bullock's grandmother only received formal education until eighth grade, and his mother a high school graduate, and his father being a high school dropout, he was taught by his grandmother to love learning. By then, through his grandmother's motivation, he was the first in his family to ever graduate from college. In this essay, Bullock shows to us the great motivation that his grandmother has done to him over the past years or, in the years where he was still studying. Him learning to read in a very early age was one of the effects of his grandmother's great perseverance on him towards reading and learning. As he went on with his reading journey, he later on stumbled upon the case of Dr. Sam Sheppard who was all over the papers of Cleveland at that time.

Since I was seven years old I have always wanted to become a teacher. I visibly remember standing on top of my grandmother’s cedar chest, calling roll to make sure everyone was present. I had meticulously arranged each teddy bear and baby doll in a way that I felt was beneficial to their learning needs. I had word charts, stickers and behavior board so that each inanimate object could see its progress.

Practical Tips for Avoiding Burnout and Renewing Your Commitment to Teaching By Beth Lewis, About.com Guide Objectively, teaching has got to be one of the top 5 most stressful careers in the world. In a single hour, we can play many different roles: nurse, babysitter, counselor, administrator, parental doormat, paper pusher, and maybe, if we're lucky, educator. After my first year of teaching, what surprised me most was the fact that the least of my problems are actually in the classroom dealing with the kids. That's the easy part. The before school, lunchtime, and afternoon meetings, not to mention the obnoxious amounts of paperwork, are enough to drive even the sanest teacher to the sanitarium.
SHC 32 Engage in personal development in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings Description of the duties and responsibilities of my work role (1.1) Working with children is very interesting and exciting because I learn from them as much as they learn from me.

It was only when I finally entered college that I realized I had always loved working with, and the idea of taking care of children; and what I truly wanted to do with the rest of my life was to teach children with mental disabilities. My career goal, which I have slowly been working towards throughout my 2 years in college, is to become a special education teacher for elementary students. I am currently signed up as double major in elementary and early childhood education and psychology in Queens College. I have taken many pre-requisite classes, as well as several courses specifically designed for elementary education. These courses allowed me to be taught by actual elementary school teachers, who have years of experience with working with children, and the knowledge and advice they were able to pass on truly helped me better understand what I was signing up for as an education major, and helped my improve the way I teach so that I could articulate in a way that would be comprehensible to students of a young age.
Through my experiences volunteering with children of various ages, as well as at-risk adults in the homeless community, I have discovered my passion for helping others. The most significant experience that lead me to where I am was when I worked with special education students on my high school campus, for five months. At first, I was unsure whether I would endure the five months, which tested my patience and maturity to the utmost. I had never worked with special needs students before. In time, I grew to appreciate, understand, and care for their unique needs, and as a result, time passed quickly as my communication, patience, and problem solving abilities improved.
