Motivation is the drive you feel inside or outside of yourself that makes you want to accomplish certain goals such as, getting an education, buying a car or house, getting the job of your dreams, etc.
My motivation for getting an education and becoming a Physical Education teacher consists of both intrinsic and extrinsic qualities.
Intrinsically, I want to accomplish these goals because of the pride I would feel once I had that diploma in my hand, knowing that all the years I went to school and stuck with it was worth it. Getting the job to go with that diploma would just be the icing on the cake for me. I know that being a teacher is not the highest paying job in the world, but that job makes a lot more money than what other people I know growing up in my neighborhood would make. I am just proud even now because I am this far along in my education. Some people I know my age are not even this far, or worst yet didn't even go to college. I would just take pride in myself knowing that I made it that far and got an education and didn't let anything stop me from getting there. Educating children about physical health is another intrinsic motivation. Children today are endangering their health because of video games, internet use and fast food. My motivation is to teach students that being healthy and active will help them in the long run, and hopefully motivate them to try out for sports or any other extracurricular activity in school or outside of it.
Extrinsically, I want to accomplish getting an education and being a Physical Education teacher is because of all the things I can do with the money I will make. Again, I know teaching doesn't make you a lot of money but it is more than what I make now. I don't want to be rich, and I don't want to live in the biggest house or drive the fanciest car. I just want to live comfortable, save my money and just feel the security of having a job, having a roof over my head and not having to stress over money.
