Teaching is a passion

Why did I want to become a teacher?
    It's simple. Teaching is a profession that you have to be passionate about. If you do not feel that making a difference in even one child's life can make yours, then teaching is not the right job for you. I love children and wanted to make a difference in as many of their lives as I possibly can. Teaching is an area that can change the outlook for any child. If I can send one child a day home with a more positive attitude about themselves and their future goals then I will have done my job successfully. Education is the only thing that can improve the life style for children. Children do not choose what family or housing situation they are born into, but with help for their teachers and a good education we can help them become confident that one day they will be comfortable in their lives and have a good, stable job, which is what we all go to school for in the first place. With an education, children can escape poverty to become productive citizens and I think this is extremely important.
   I chose children at a younger age as who I aim towards helping and teaching. Their minds are so open and innocent that building up their confidence at this age will only make them feel as if they can succeed more in the future. I was initially inspired to become an elementary school teacher by my very own kindergarten teacher. She was amazing when she taught me and I recently did my pre-teaching with her at the same elementary school I once attending. It was an amazing experience and just seeing how passionate she still is about teaching her students after all of these years just made me more eager to get into a classroom and teach myself. I cannot wait to have a class of my own and help them accomplish all of the goals they hope to achieve for the future.
