Teaching

My major is American Government Education ... this is because I chose the degree in which I felt I was least knowledgeable in, and needed to know most about in order to fulfill my responsibilities as a good citizen.

Before that I was an English Education major, because I have felt a love for English for a long time. It always just seemed to click. But I don't really enjoy a lot of the over analysis that is necessary to get a degree in English. And of course Art Education, but that's just because I enjoy drawing, and am fairly good at it.. I also think I would have the most freedom in teaching an Art class. I've always stuck with Education no matter how many times I've switched my major because that is the one thing that I guess has just never even been a question in my mind. I like teaching, and I feel I've always been good at it.

But I think in all honesty, if I were to teach any subject... it would be 3rd grade math. Too bad third grade isn't categorized by subject just yet.. I'd have to get a degree in Elementary Education and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Besides... the only teaching I've done has been one on one where I could design my course to fit the needs of the student! I think I'd go crazy with the limitations placed on me by the school district and state requirements and a large classroom of varying personalities of children.

But I really do enjoy teaching it, none the less. I seem destined to it to a certain extent... seeing as I had the opportunity to teach my nephew Jonathan when he was doing third grade math... and now I'm teaching his younger brother Brandon, who is now taking his turn in third grade math. Coincidence, yeah?
