Self- motivation

As the Whitlow R. Green College of Education proposes new requirements for graduation, self- motivation should become a new word in the daily vocabulary of students. Although the requirements seem high and unreasonable, we have to motivate ourselves in accomplishing what we set out to achieve. Many times we often complain about the quality of teachers in the department, when we don’t strive to do what we can to help ourselves. Like the saying says, “If you can’t beat them you might as well join them”. If we cannot get the department to change the requirements, then we have to figure out what we can do to pass the examination with the required grade. This means purchasing test preparation manuals, missing parties, studying, and making other sacrifices. We often wait around for people to tell us when, how and where to do things. As a future educator, we must take the initiative to become successful ourselves. When we reach our career paths, no one is going to hold our hand to guide us through our job, therefore, we must motivate ourselves to strive for excellence and overcome any obstacles we may encounter. An excellent educator is many times recognized by former students as a motivator, but how can we motivate our students if we cannot motivate ourselves?
