I am a psychology major about to complete my bachelors this coming January, and I plan to continue on at Salem State on my master, with a concentration in family & marriage counseling.  I also debate about teaching courses at the college level such as Psychology 101.

I am taking this course for the experience in fieldwork and to get an idea as to what teachers go through to plan daily lessons.  I always loved teaching myself, to my 7 younger brothers and sisters and thought this would give me a nice understating of the premise of school.

I think because I taught my brothers and sisters, of course not in a school setting, but that set the pathway for me having an interest in teaching.  I currently nanny with two little preschoolers right now, and I take a big part in scheduling and teaching them throughout the day.  It is always so rewarding at the end of the day.  I like their “ah-ha” moments that they experience, and being apart of that is so rewarding.  I do not plan on teaching such young children, but I do plan on teaching adults, who in fact go through the same, “ah-ha” moments as little children do.
