Summary
Education helps to instill a love of lifelong learning in students so they can overcome obstacles and achieve more than they thought possible. The love of learning was instilled in me, and has helpedme to achieve goals that I previously thought were too difficult. Sometimes students can miss important milestones in their education. Working as a title 1 teacher and librarian will allow me to help students fill in missing information. Building a child’s confidence in learning and their ability to overcome and achieve helps instill in them a love for education. It is my goal as an educator to help students develop that confidence in themselves.
