I did not write my APA paper on teaching because the career I really want is in Psychology but I was unable to shadow a Psychologist because everything they do is confidential and it would be hard for me to truly see what their job consists of because of that. As a second option I chose teaching because I wanted to expose myself to other careers that might spark my interest.
Being at the Middle School I learned about the patience of teachers and the different types of teaching in the Middle school. I was excited to watch from a different perspective other than a student and it opened my eyes to the reality of what teachers really have to go through in a day. I enjoyed my experience and would say it was a success in educating me. But it did confirm that I don’t want to be a teacher in the future but the respect I have gained from them is immense.
