Stella Galik

Assignment 1

My name is Stella Galik and I am 18 years old. I was born here in Las Vegas. I went to

North West Career and Technical Academy and I was in the Early Childhood Education

program. This is where my love for this profession began to grow. In this program I learned how

to write lesson plans, understand and read curriculum, teach my own lessons to our schools

on-campus kindergarten class, got the opportunity to have an internship at Dean Allen

Elementary school, and I even graduated as the top student in this program. Being able to do all

of this was so enlightening and proved that I want to continue working in this field. Whether it

be a school teacher, a child’s psychologist, or psychiatrist, I want to be in this industry to help

our younger generations anyway I can.

Growing up, school was always difficult for me. I went to three separate elementary

schools, and it was extremely hard for me to adjust to the new environment, make new friends,

and learn the new curriculum. When middle school came around, I had some amazing teachers

that taught me a lot. More specifically, my 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Palmer has made a

lasting effect on me. She taught me about the meat industry and influenced me to become

vegetarian. That being said, I have been vegetarian for 7 years now. Teachers like Mrs. Palmer is

what makes me want to be a teacher. I want to change a child's life like the way Mrs. Palmer did

for me.

I feel that I can offer a lot to this area of profession because I have already been so

involved in this community. I have been studying Early Childhood Education for 4 years now, I

have had an internship, and much more. I would love to help influence a child’s life for the better
and teach them a variety of things. I look forward to learning more about this career so I can

apply my knowledge in the real world.
