What A Relief

For  a minute there, I thought I was going to have less than 40 kids in each of my classrooms. Thank goodness I am getting new students four weeks into the school year to get my roster sizes back up to 40.

The joys of public school

Motivation

Sometimes in the midst of reading stacks of essays, I get jaded to what my students have to say. Then I read an essay like this and I remember why I am doing this.

“One goal I hope to achieve in my life  is to be a psychologist. This has been my life long dream ever since I was 12. A psychologist is a person who helps people with their problems. They are the clients support. I want to be that support.

What inspired me to be a psychologist or therapist was my grampa. My grandfather helped many people exspecially the poor. He never judged no one by their color he helped them because they needed the help. He always taught me that when you help people good things happen to you. On occasions I do believe that and others I don’t. What I do believe is that if you help a person they would get happiness out of it.

Since I was little I always loved to helped people. My life was very difficult as a child for (deleted). These things inspired me to become a therapist or psychologist and help people with those same problems. I have helped many of my friends with my type of situations and they have actually done great with my advice. I hope if I do reach this goals many people would have trust and confidence in me so they can know I’m here for them.

When I achieve this goal, which I know I will, I’m gonna touch many hearts and help a large amount of people. I hear many people say, “I’m gonna kill myself, why am I even here”, and that makes me feel horrible and lift up their self-esteam. Everyone is here for a reason to help the world one way or another and when I am a therapist or psychologist I hope to change their mind and make them achieve. My teachers have always pushed me to do good and with them I will do the same. I will also touch many hearts. I’ll make change in their lifes as others changed mine.”

I hope you find a reminder of the reason you started doing what you are doing today.
