The last week of my CEP 812 at Michigan State has arrived. As I reflect on my time this semester, one concept keeps circling back in my mind: Questioning! How am I as a teacher? Am I making a difference? Is my future in education or something else? My reflection brought me back to my days as a PGA Golf Professional while completing undergraduate courses. My initial career path I believed was to become a golf pro; however, as I got more through my degree and working in the golf world everything changed.
When I began my journey, I reflected on my readings on success, curiosity and passion. For me, the category drives the other one. Without passion how can you be successful? If you aren’t curious about your success then do you have any passion? Dickson (2015) mentions it clearly, “success by living with passion and curiosity vs your average IQ”. Without a passion for curiosity, then what is our purpose on this planet? I believe that many of us are still trying to find our way in this world, our path alone! My journey has been labeled as one word “comeback”. For each failure in life I have had, the “comeback” part of it has been my biggest achievement. I am a hard-worker and after my failures I believe I come back as a stronger, more mature person. As I get older, my “comebacks” are not major, but I think that my curiosity and questioning has led me in a different direction. As I conclude this class, I have been asking questions about the teaching profession for me. I think the new found questioning I found in life is going to lead me to better and bigger things in future. References: Dickson, J. (2015, May 9).
