This past semester, I modeled in a fashion show. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. I went to practices every Sunday for 3 hours, just walking in high heels to perfect our walks. The show was a huge success! I saw a few of the models trip down the runway (which looked painful), but luckily I didn't trip or fall! The clothing was all so exotic and different from my own style of clothing that it was fascinating to see the outfits that the designers put together. The practices were brutal, so to speak, but all the models had fun. I would do it all again if I could and am hopeful for another opportunity to do a show. One of my favorite designers is Jad Ghandour. I love him for his chic and suave designs, so here is a link to one of his shows!
I believe that incorporating technology in teaching is a great way for students and teachers alike to keep updated on our world's constant changing. It is what connects us to the outside world, and I think that it is a necessity to have an understanding of our society's technological ways. Learning about technology can be quite difficult because of the fact that it's always changing.
I believe that teaching has to be a passion. One cannot simply just want to become a teacher for the 3 month summer break, or the weekends off; they must want to become a teacher to teach children everything there is to know about a given subject. Children are the future generation, and it is our job to prepare them for the future. As stated before, it is critical that you have a passion for teaching, and for being around children for long periods of time. As for me, I love children, and I love teaching. I've taught a whole classroom of kids on my own twice in my life for a long period of time, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Filling a child's brain with knowledge and answering their questions so they understand it is, to me, the greatest feeling. When they "get it", it's the best feeling in the world...and that is why one should want to become a teacher.
I agree with you a hundred percent that the teaching needs to be a passion. And when the studets 'get it' it really is the best feeling in the world. I am scared of spiders too! They are the creepist bugs ever! Along with those centipeds that have a bazillion legs. It is cool you participated in a fashion show! Maybe you should try and be in more!
ReplyDeleteI also have two younger brothers. Named Brendon and Brady. I think that teaching is something that you have to have a strong passion for in order to be good at it. It seems that you would be a great teacher!
ReplyDeleteWhile this post was good and long, I would avoid starting almost every sentence with "I". Perhaps some adjustment of sentence structure is needed.
ReplyDeleteGood post! It gives people a great overview of who you are and your plans as a pre-service teacher. I agree as well that teaching is passion and you need to be ready and enjoy working with students to give them the knowledge and today technology is important!
ReplyDeleteYour about me is really good. I can tell you're a very sociable person just by reading it! I also thinks it's really cool you got a chance to model! I totally agree that teaching needs to be a passion. Not everyone is cut out to teach or is even teaching for the right reasons! Nice blog:)
ReplyDeleteI am also going into secondary education in math, and whenever I tell people this they are always a little puzzled at the fact that I enjoy math as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed you post. I agree with your statement that technology can be difficult learn because it is ever changing. That is the beauty of it. It is crucial that educators embrace the natural evolution of technology. It is the key to engaging our students.
