My Personal Definition:
Professionalism is not only how you portray yourself to others in the workplace, but it is also how you act when nobody is around to watch you. Professionalism is when you put in the extra bit of effort in order to get the job done. Professionalism is when you combine work ethic, grit, and drive into your work

Connections
Teamwork
Patience
My Future Plans
In fall of 2023 I will be attending University of Northern Colorado for Education. Through this experience of COS I have realized that teaching is somethings that I am looking forword to. After a couple of years, I will be teaching First or Second grade.

#4 Answer: i always loved being with kids. I love babysitting. I always had babysitting jobs. When i was in high school i did the help program through school help educate little people is what we called it i don't know if that still the thing but i also did a program where i work at a vet office i wanted to play it back and forth and see which one of those career would be best for me and later in life after i got married and had kids i decided to go back to school and start education and that's where i fell in love with working with kids.
#5 Answer: Oh goodness, at the beginning of my career I made a lot of mistakes for sure. I think one thing that helped was that I was already a mom and so the management of kisd was pretty good. I think I just had that advantage of being a mom already but if i could go back I would probably seek out a lot more help and not try to take all of the weight on my own shoulders. I think that is probably my biggest downfall as my educator beginning
#6 Answer: I think it depends on the person on whether or not a person can talk to little kids is easier. Most of the teachers that i find actually struggle with parents more so than the kids and that would be the case in most teachers. I don't know if i have a probable with talking to kids or parents i feel like i do pretty good

#7 Answer: Definitely know what you are getting into. Know the goods and the bads for getting into the teaching career its not all what you see in the classroom and know a lot of background that goes into that you don't know about and it not always pleasant and you need to know that a head of times so that you know what this career is definite best for you
