What I Want To Do With My Life

     I've been accepted to two out of 8 of the colleges of my choice so far.. I have a long way to go. I've worked really hard in school and I want to go to a school that is on MY LEVEL. But my father has been stressing me to go to a city school because he does not want to pay for me to get a different education. I feel its so unfair. I been busting my butt off in school so that I could get into a  school of my choice, and then you're gonna tell me I can't, when you know you have the money but you just don't wanna spend it? Some bs.
    But anyways I want to become an early childhood teacher or elementary school teacher, because I feel that the best time to help to mold the lives of children is when their minds are developing and have fresh ideas. I love kids, and I would like to make a difference in at least one child's life.  I'll never forget my daycare teachers and my 5th and 7th grade teachers because they actually took interest in me. They are the teachers I will remember for my lifetime because they made me want to learn more things. We need more teachers like that. Most of the teachers nowadays don't have a passion for what they do anymore. It's just a job to them. I don't want to be that kind of teacher. I want to set a different example. I want kids to appreciate school, not dread coming to school everyday.

  1. Good luck! I'm currently an infant daycare teacher and I love it. You really have to have a passion for children to choose this path because money is so not a motivator lol

  2. First of all-congratulations on getting accepted already to colleges! I can understand your frustration. Will you dad help fund your college wherever you go, or only where he wants you to go?
