Motivation Blog

I am in the teacher education program because I can't wait to teach my students what I have learned through out my life. I grew up playing sports constantly and I want to teach my future students how much fun you can have, how much you can learn, and help them find what they are most interested in doing when it comes to being active. I am enrolled in this class and at UVU so that I can complete my education and graduate, and move on to be a teacher and a coach in the next stage of my life.
I succeed in my my life when I am fully motivated and committed to what it is I am doing. I have noticed in school that when I fail or don't do as well, I try to figure out why and change what I need to so that next time I am able to succeed.
The goals in my course reflect Performance Orientation. I play sports and stay active because I want to get something out of it. I want to have fun, or get a good work out, etc. This shows that I am going in to my profession to continue to enjoy being active and to teach others how to be motivated as well.
For this class, I need to change by being more motivated in getting as much as I can out of this class and not just getting by on average. I want to complete this class feeling like I did everything I could to succeed in helping me be a better teacher when I graduate.
