As I think about teaching and becoming a teacher I have to say, I do have some concerns. I am very excited about pursuing a career in teaching, but I am concerned about if I can really do it. I hope I am able to keep my class' attention and help them learn as much as they can. I am not sure how I will perform in front of that class while having all those blank stares looking back at me. I have helped teach in classes in high school, for instance, in my chemistry class I helped explain a concept to others when I understood it and no one else did. Our teacher had me go in front of the class and explain it. So this is not really the concern, but whether I do this without having a teacher by my side helping me through it. I am concerned because I have so many aspirations for myself about getting my students involved and helping them enjoy learning more in English. I love English and helping others enjoy it as well. I am concerned about whether or not I will be able to help my students learn as much as they can and help them love learning. This leads me to another concern; I am not sure if I will have enough knowledge to educate my students. I do not know if I will know how to teach a lesson or answer a student’s question I had not thought about prior to class. These are the concerns that I find myself thinking about while I am also excited about teaching.
The areas of concern that were most present in my statement would have to be Self and a little bit of Impact. The areas consisted of more consequence and personal stages.
