Becoming a Teacher at 19 I’m 23 years old. I graduated high school when I was 16. I wanted to be a pharmacist or an architect, anything but a teacher. Why? I wanted to do something different. My mom is a teacher, my aunts are teachers, so it runs in the family. My parents told me that I should take a pharmacy course before actually studying pharmacy at the university. I did, and I realize it was not my thing. So, I thought what really warmed my heart. I found out being around kids and helping them. Therefore, I started studying English as a Second Language and got the opportunity to work as a preschool assistant. I loved the experience. When I finish studying ESL, I studied Education. Now, I can truly say how much I enjoy being in the classroom with my students. I love and I’m thankful for all of it; the blessings, the learnings, the highs, the lows. I’m not saying I’m the perfect teacher because I’m far from being perfect, but I have the desire to become better for them. I started working with kids at 19, and I hope that my curiosity and love for education and kids never leave me.

Becoming a Teacher at 19

I’m 23 years old. I graduated high school when I was 16. I wanted to be a pharmacist or an architect, anything but a teacher. Why? I wanted to do something different. My mom is a teacher, my aunts are teachers, so it runs in the family.
My parents told me that I should take a pharmacy course before actually studying pharmacy at the university. I did, and I realized it was not my thing. So, I thought what really warmed asked myself what I really wanted in my heart. I found out that it was being around kids and helping them. Therefore, I started studying English as a Second Language and got the opportunity to work as a preschool assistant. I loved the experience. When I finished studying ESL, I studied Education.

Now, I can truly say how much I enjoy being in the classroom with my students. I love and I’m am thankful for all of it; the blessings, the learnings lessons, the highs, the lows. I’m not saying I’m the perfect teacher because I’m far from (being) perfect, but I have the desire to become better for them.

I started working with kids at 19, and I hope that my curiosity and love for education and kids never leave me.

What a great piece of writing! Very few errors.

1. Remember your past tenses, -ed endings are silly mistakes with your level.

2. I think I know what you mean by " warms my heart" but it was a bit unclear., e.g. does it give your purpose? does it make you feel emotional? Normally that phrase is used to talk about a kind deed that makes you feel good. "it warms my heart to see kids helping their grandparents".

3. No need to repeat the subject in the sentence " I love and am thankful".

Hope this helps! should you wish to practise your speaking skills, check out my profile! All the best Dayana
