Reasons I wanted to be a teacher:
1. To be a positive role model for students who have no other
2. I love knowledge - learning and passing it on
3. I wanted the opportunity to change lives, help people and make a difference in a positive way.
4. I wanted to give back - I had amazing teachers growing up. They were so dedicated and inspiring. I wanted to be the same for my students.
5. I love kiddos - they are fascinating little people!! And let's face it...the hours are great! Pay sucks, but it's worth it! :)
