All about me...
In our first Academic and Personal Development seminar we were tasked to write a paragraph sumarising who we are, what inspired us and our journey so far.
I thought that I'd share this with you as it is the beginning to my journey as a trainee teacher.
'My name is Matthew and my home is Bolton. One of my hobbies, and passions in life, is photography. So much so that I took photography as a GCSE and at A Level. I want to be a primary school teacher because it has been an aspiration of mine for years; I am often reminded, by my mum, that my younger self would sit my family down and take a register. My inspiration for becoming a primary teacher is the pride felt when a child in the class achieves as it makes me feel like I too have achieved. I want to be the teacher whose lessons are fun and interactive, the lessons that children want to be involved in. I wouldn't be here today without the majority of my teachers through my primary and secondary educational life. They helped me to keep my dream of teaching alive through their own teaching styles and spirit. My mum too, I will be forever thankful to her for pushing me to be the best person I could be, even when I resisted... The people who I will rely on to support me during my teaching journey will be my family, my friends and my peers on this journey with me.'
I know this post is simply me sharing my life, but I feel this will be great to look back upon throughout my teacher career.
Until next time,
Mr Townley :)
