My Road Map to Becoming a Science Teacher What I hope to be in ten years is a middle school science teacher who makes students curious about the world around them. This goal grew out of my own experience, because one lively experiment in my first year changed the way I felt about science. To reach it, I have divided my plan into three stages. First, in the months before I leave high school, I will raise my grades in biology and chemistry and keep a notebook of simple experiments that younger students could enjoy. Second, at university, I plan to major in science education and spend my vacations volunteering at a children's science center. My homeroom teacher has suggested that I also join a tutoring club, since explaining ideas clearly is a skill that grows with practice. Finally, once I finish university, I will take the national exam for teachers and, if I pass, look for a school near my hometown. What keeps me going on difficult days is the picture of a classroom full of students who look forward to every new lesson.
