When I think about why I want to become a teacher I think about the teacher who inspired me to teach. She made a difference in my life, she went above and beyond her job to make learning fun and to get to know me, and she took an interest in what us students were doing beyond her classroom. That is what i strive to do and become when I am a teacher.
Don't get me wrong, teaching has it's benefits; weekends, holidays, and summers off. Fairly good salary (depending on where you teach). But teaching is much more then that. I hope to be a teacher that inspires my students, and that students look back on as an influential person in their life. I enjoy working with kids; I want them to learn and become great people.
I am definitely nervous about being in the public eye, but I think that I am low-key enough that I won't have to worry too much about doing something stupid to tarnish my name.
