What led me to my major selection, Why I believe it suits me, and the impact I would like to leave after obtaining my major.

                I, Corey Davis, have decided to choose the field of education as my college study.  My major I will be pursuing is Intervention Specialist (Mild/Moderate) K-12.  I feel that being an intervention specialist suits me in a variety of ways.  The main reason I personally believe that this particular field suits me is because I enjoy teaching others how to learn material.  However, often people having trouble at some point in their schooling, they will need special assistance.  I have seen, as well as experienced, this struggle firsthand.  In school, I started elementary school on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).  Another example of an experience that I feel would show that I will enjoy teaching is that how I have assisted numerous people in my school with their homework.  In addition to helping peers, I also have learned a lot by assisting my sister with her homework in a nightly/weekly basis.  Through my membership with the Wayne Trace Chapter of the National Honor Society (WTNHS), I have interacted with others and helped those in need as well.  These interactions have helped me in deciding to go into education.  My mother is also an educator, and I feel that this has also led me towards this life choice.  These are just a few reasons why I believe that education may be a field for me to study in college/a career path for me. 

                When I become a teacher, the effect/why I would like to leave on the students that come to my class is to know that whatever challenges they face on a daily basis, whether it be mentally or physically, they can be successful.  Also, I would like each student to know that he or she can improve overall.  While also improving one’s self-worth, without him or herself realizing it, however, this can be difficult for a teacher to do but that is one challenge of the many challenges that is a part of teaching.  I would also like the students that come through my classroom to know that they can learn as much as a general education student can.  Every student can, and will learn; we will work together to make sure of that.  Also, I would like the students to know they can talk to me about any struggles they are having dealing with school, as well as home life.  While I know, I would have a lasting effect on the students that I have in class, I would love to have them enjoy coming to school.  To some students, the school may seem pointless and get old; however, I want to show these students that school does not last forever and every day you have in school is unique and special.  All students should be concerned with being at school, learning, and overcoming obstacles, to have any future that they want.
