Why do I want to become a teacher? Well, there are many reasons. First because I want to make a difference in the world and I think teaching is a very important way to make a difference. I have seen what good teachers can do for kids and I want to be able to change lives. I believe in the power of teachers. I believe they can not only teach students academics, but they can teach students how to be better adults. I want to be the difference in a child's life and future.
I also want to be a teacher to be able to remain close to my kids as I work. I want to show them that education is important and that even when things get hard, you can still do whatever you set your mind to. I want to show my kids that following your dreams is possible and attainable.
