FREE ESSAY ON ME AND ROOMMATE

ME AND ROOMMATE

Dear New Roommate, It is hard for me to describe myself to you in simple words. I can tell
you that I am an energetic and compassionate person, but what does that tell you? I would
rather show you who I am by telling you what my hopes and dreams are, what the driving
force in my life is, and this will lead you to understand who I really am, as a person.
Only when you get to know these things about me is when you really start to understand
what type of person I really am, not just the fact that I am a blond twenty-two-year-old
that wants to be a teacher. To make the difference in the lives of children is such an
important goal to me. I remember when I was in elementary school, I adored my teachers,
they were the world to me. I always felt special and successful because of the love,
support and knowledge that my elementary teachers gave to me. I long to give back to
children what I was so lucky to receive from my teachers as a child. This has been a
major factor in my strive to become an elementary school teacher. By giving children the
love, support and education they need, they have a greater chance of living a solid,
stable and productive life. What is most important to remember is that children are our
future. My journey to become a teacher started as early as Junior High. I started
baby-sitting the children in my neighborhood when I was in seventh grade. I loved
spending time with children, and by the time I was in high-school, I had many permanent
baby-sitting jobs throughout Ojai, the small town we live in. Even when I moved away to
San Luis Obispo, to go to college, I never gave up caring for children. I quickly found a
nanny job watching two young girls while I was in San Luis Obispo, which I kept for two
years. Although these were only small side jobs, they meant much more. I spent hours
outside of work going to school plays, soccer games, and dance recitals of the various
children that I baby-sat. The real motivation to become a teacher came to me when I
started working at a Christian preschool and daycare when I moved back to Ojai. I have
worked at Noah's Ark as a licensed daycare teacher for the past two years. Some of my
responsibilities included ensuring the safety of the children, supervising them at play,
homework club, creating the curriculum and daily activities for the children, and equally
important, loving and nurturing the children while they are in my care. Noah's Ark has
provided me with the opportunity to work with a diverse population of children. I have
worked with low-income families on scholarships, physically disabled children, and
students with emotional problems. Children from all ethnic backgrounds attend Noah's Ark
and each one has brought their unique culture into the program. This has been a great
learning experience for me. It has helped me gain patience, understanding and leadership
abilities as well as learning about new cultures. I have a high inner drive to begin my
teaching career. I am very energetic and motivated in all that I do. Children are very
special to me and I love working with children from all cultures and backgrounds. I feel
that by pushing the idea of having a diverse class, that the students themselves can
potentially create a unique and enriching learning experience for themselves. I feel that
through each other, the children can learn about history, traditions, and the cultures of
other people. This, in turn, will ideally create a more tolerant, loving classroom
situation, and hopefully this tolerance will go much further than the classroom doors. I
think that California Lutheran University is the perfect school to help me reach the
goals that I have set for myself. I want to be in a school that will give me a
broad-based education. I feel that the people at Cal Lutheran, both students and faculty
are deeply aware of today's most important issues. I also love the fact that, through Cal
Lutheran, I can become involved in many different volunteer groups that deal with
children. I enjoy the idea that Cal Lutheran is such a small school and from the dealings
with Gloria Lopez, as well as the other admissions staff, I feel that I have been given a
lot of special attention and consideration because of the fact that the ratios are so
small.
