Three years ago, I applied for and obtained a job as a teacher's aide for Mrs. Richey's Kindergarten class. Mrs. Richey was an awesome teacher. She involved the kids in fun activities and knew what would be fun, because she could get on their level. My favorite thing I saw her do was to imitate characters as she read picture books to them. She made the stories even more interesting that way. At the end of the year, she let each student know how much she cared about them. Many of her students, years later, like to visit her in her classroom and they talk about how Kindergarten has been their favorite year in school.
I applied for the aide job to better decide if I wanted to be a teacher. Mrs. Richey's example and the experience of working with her students and watching them succeed gave me the desire to teach.
I want to be a teacher like Mrs. Richey. I want to make a difference that will be a lasting impression on my students for a long time. I appreciate her example and the opportunities she gave me to be involved with her students.
