What are your thoughts, feelings, vision, concerns, and
outlook on your current profession or the one you plan to pursue?
My goal
is to teach young children the joy of reading. Reading is the most important
skill children need to learn. All education requires this ability. Unfortunately,
too many children are getting by without a strong foundation in the ability to
read. On average, one in four children grow up illiterate (DoSomething.org, N.D.).
This bothers me a great deal. I want all children to experience the joy of losing
themselves in a great story. How do you plan on developing your own independent voice within your professional field?
I am not sure what my plan for creating my own independent
voice in the education field is at this time. I am still undecided in my final
career, but all of my choices involve helping children become better readers. My
goal is to create a love of reading in as many children as I can.
I might become a teacher and create a curriculum that
allows students more freedom in their choice of material. As a student, I
remember reading books that I hated, and for some children, that can turn them
off of reading. I want to help children see how much fun reading can be.
I may become a librarian and create programs that
encourage reading in my patrons. I would
have book clubs, book fairs, story time, and reading challenges that reward
students for reading a specified amount of books. I would also have other activities
such as movies and game time that encourage student to come to the library. 
Becoming a reading specialist is my third option. For
this, I will specialize in helping readers who have difficulties. Since this
requires one-on-one lessons, I will be able to cater my lesson plans to the student.
I can incorporate their interests into the lessons, making them more appealing
the child.
