Inspiration

My inspiration comes from people who are in need of help. I am a type of person who will go out of my way to help others who are in need. For example, a couple of days ago I was walking my dog on my road when my neighbor came driving by. She stopped beside me and I was thinking she was going to talk about my crazy, hyperactive dog but instead she ask if I would like to make $10. As a teenager and not having a job at all, I was like "Yeah, ma'am!". She asked me if I could help her bring some boxes from her van into her house and I gladly told her yes. I then told her that she didn't have to pay me just to help her out and she said I got this money and I might as well give it to you. I sure wasn't going to say no twice. She I finished walking my dog and went next door to help her out. She ended up giving me $20 and I was glad I was in the right place at the right time. Another time when I helped a person in need is when my other neighbor, a.k.a. friends's house, needed help pulling up floor so the professionals could go ahead and put in new floors. I offered to help out and they greatly showed their appreciation when I offered. So instead of just two people spending loads of hours pulling up carpets, pulling up nails, taking off the borders, etc., there was now three people doing the same exact work but just in a shorter time frame. I also realized that by me helping others out of the kindness of my heart can really help me out in the future. It helps build trust between me and the person I'm helping and it could gain more extra help later in life. The world won't get better is people could just help others so that could have a positive outcome and it could also spread to others.

People could learn a thing or two from you. Sometimes doing something out of the goodness of your heart really does end up rewarding you more than you thought; whether it be financially or just knowing you did something good.

When I Grow Up

At first my intended career choice was to become a chef. I just liked to cook and take random condiments out of the cabinets and refrigerator to try to make a new one. Did not go great at all. Then I wanted to be a zoo keeper because I love to hang around animals and being in a zoo did just that. That lasted for like 3 seconds. Then back to being chef then on to become an astronomer because I liked outer space and learning about the planets and everything else in it but that too only lasted a couple of days. I went back to becoming a chef, wanting to own my own restaurant, and also become a video game designer. Be a chef doing the day and be a video game designer at night. After realizing that the type of food I wanted to make was not anywhere near where I wanted in college, I dropped the chef idea. I didn't want to become a video game designer because I didn't want to go to two different colleges so that went down the drain. I finally settled on becoming a teacher when I started to do Teacher Cadet. It was actually more fun than what the people who already took the class told me and I found out that I wasn't that bad at teaching (the teacher flooded me with praises and compliments so I wouldn't forget I wasn't). I definitely liked how we went to our closest middle and elementary schools and we got to miss a whole period of class because of it. When I went to our elementary school and introduced myself and actually got involved in the classroom, it helped me realize that I should be stupid if I don't give being a teacher a try as a career. What I hope to take from the class is how teachers are more worked out than we thought. I want to take the self-assessments I’ve taken and continue to use my strengths and continue to work on my weaknesses.

About Me

My name is Ahmad Walker and I am currently a senior at Bartlett Yancey High School. I am a loud person on accident. I don't realize that I'm super loud until someone points out that I'm basically the only one talking or I'm way louder than majority of the class put together. I am active in a lot of clubs and duties including about 9 jobs at my church, the co-creator of my school's Creative Writing Club, parliamentarian of the FBLA, member of the FTA, the secretary of my 4-H Club, and I am a volunteer at the public library. So I'm a very hard worker and can clearly juggle multiple jobs at once. I also enjoy writing and am currently writing a book that I will hopefully get published as soon as I finish which seems like 50 years from now because I procrastinate on it constantly. My future goals in Teacher Cadet is to be able to experience more of how teachers run their classroom and how they do their works behind of all that. My goal right now is to get back into my internship and get back with all my students so they can learn from someone who wants to get them engaged in learning more by using more technology and getting out of their seats every once in a while.
