Chapter 8

Which geographical area do you want to work in: rural, suburban, or urban? Explain.

If I had to choose I would like to work in either a suburban or rural area. I would like to work in the suburban area for several reasons. One I live in a suburban area. This would make it easier to get to work and I would get to have my children closer to me. Also I have never lived in a big city so I would feel more comfortable being and navigating the suburban streets. I would really like to work at one of the three elementary schools outside of my neighborhood. I know that it probably won’t happen right away, but eventually maybe.  If suburban schools are not possible I would like to teach at a rural school. It would be a further drive for me but I would feel more at home. Growing up I lived in a small town/city that was bordered by a rural area. My best friend growing up lived out in the country, so I grew up around it. I would be able to connect with the students in a way that I would not be able to with urban students. I can relate to the suburban students and the rural students but I would find it harder to relate to the urban children. So if I had my choice that is what I would choose.
