A lot of people ask me why on Earth I would want to teach when the education system seems to be all messed up. They ask me why I would go into a system that doesn't give any credit to what I will be doing. They even ask me why I would settle for the little amount of money that teachers get. Yes, I will probably never drive a really fancy car, and yes, the education system is pretty messed up right now, but being a teacher is SO MUCH MORE than the money and the fancy car. Teaching is about impacting children's lives. It's about educating them, but also teaching them about of how to be a young adult. It's about teaching them about life. It's about those "Aw-Ha" moments that you see your kids have and you cry about those moments at night because you're so proud of your little kiddos in class. It's about grading papers at one in the morning and un-jamming the annoying copier for the third time that week. Teaching is about turning their little frowns up-side-down and having fun with the kiddos. It's about supporting them and being their biggest fans through life. You see, those are the reasons I want to teach, and the reasons why I will teach. I want to make an impact. I want to inspire. Besides, the world needs more heroes...And the best part about my job is that I get to be the one to train them.
