Teaching

Why would a teacher contemplate pursuing another career.

There are many reasons to this question. I think that the most obvious reason that a teacher would consider a change in career would be the pay. I know that most teachers have to go to atleast four years of college, then they get paid unreasonably. I'm not sure if college professors receive alot more pay but I'm sure that it still isnt as much as it should be considering there education, and the service there provoding. Another reason is that some people may have thought that they would enjoy being around children, or teenagers all day. Then they start doing it and find out that they dislike it very much. They could have been pressured by someone to pursue a career in teaching, such as if the persons family had a history of teaching like his/her parents were teachers and there parents were teachers and so on. But there are more reasons to be a teacher then not to be. If you pursue a career in teaching there will always be jobs for you if you have the right education. There will always be teachers, and I don't want to see the day when there is no more teachers.

Journal reflection

Journal Reflection

I have enjoyed doing these journals for the most part. It isn't bad even though we have to do one every day. I haven't been able to do one every day but I have done most of them. I don't think that it has helped me that much in my writing. It is probably because I didn't really try to improve, I just did it as an assignment. I liked that I could write about anything that I wanted. Yet at the same time I disliked it because It's hard for me to be creative enough to think of interesting topics to write about, so I ended up doing most of my journals based on prompts. I always listened to music while I did these assignments, and alot of the time I wanted to write a journal about the music I was listening to. I couldn't think of a very good way to go about it though. I wish that I had given it a try. All in all I enjoyed the assignment and it helped me more then I thought that it would.
