2 Career paths-The Road to My Career

To illustrate my ideal career path, I created a Prezi (​Evidence 3.2.1​) in order to

explain the transition I intend to make from high school to studying education in college.

I believe the courses I have already taken and plan on taking in high school will prepare

me for a college degree in education. Included in the Prezi is an explanation of which

colleges I have visited and which college I plan on attending. Following this slide are the

education degrees I plan to pursue. My last stop is my dream job including where and

what I would like to teach.

During high school, I have taken classes that have helped me become better

suited to become a teacher. For example,I have taken Teacher Academy to learn the

basics of teaching and to get experience teaching in a real class setting and

environment. To best prepare for the subject I want to teach, I have taken math up to

Algebra lll. I am also involved in diversity club which has allowed me to present to a few

of our schools the importance of diversity within our district. I play football and baseball

for the school and baseball in the summer for a club team. Evidence (​Link​)

After high school, I will be attending The Ohio State University to play baseball. I

plan to be a student teacher and get more experience in teaching and being in a real

classroom environment to get the feel of what it is like to be a teacher.When I graduate

College I want to receive my bachelors and masters degree. I want to get my masters

as soon as I can after I get my bachelors degree. I will be majoring in math and

minoring in special education. Evidence (Ohio License Structure 3.2.3)

 My final stop is starting my dream job. I would like to teach 8th grade or older

because I feel like I can help kids the most through some of their toughest times in their

life: most dramatic, stressed, depressed, happiest, saddest parts of their lives. I feel like

I can help them because I have already been through it and can send them the way of

doing things that I should have done to cope with it or I wish I did to teach them with it. I

would like to stay in the Olentangy District if possible because why not teach in one of

the best districts in the state of Ohio. I would like to teach math, science, or become a

special ed teacher and help with kids with disabilities. The interview I conducted with

Coach Lucas helped me by realizing you cannot teach a kid if you do not win over their

trust. If they do not trust you, they will not respect you in anyway or listen to you.
