Science Teacher by Sebastien

Science Teacher by Sebastien - October 2016 Scholarship Essay

I do not know where you attended school, but my school had some interesting teachers. If the roles were reversed, I would love to teach science. With me as a science teacher, things would be different. Don't get me wrong, science teachers are doing a fine job. Although, I believe that an entertaining person like myself, would be a great addition to this profession.

For starters, I would add more experiments to my teaching schedule. Many professors lack the hands on teaching that students need to fully fathom the topic. How do people expect a student to understand that if you mix two chemicals, a reaction is supposed to happen? Teachers nowadays love to use books and computers to give their students the information. I suppose they should just go by what teachers say rather than actually perform this experiment.

This is where I come in and provide my expertise. In my opinion, for people to learn, they need to enjoy the process that gets them there. For most people, memories are for good experiences. If you try to force information into a person, they will most likely not remember it. To learn something, they have to be willing to accept the course that takes them there. I give credence to the fact that I can make a massive change in the field of science.
