Why I want to be a teacher?

Why would anyone want to be a teacher? All day you are dealing with bratty kids, yelling at you, picking on their peers, and disrespecting you every single day of every single year. So why would I want to be a teacher?

I want to be a teacher because I don't believe any of these myths people say are true. I am working in a school right now and I learn more at my job from the kids then I will ever be able to teach them.

I want to be a teacher because I love to be creative. I want them to realize that I am going to try and stay on the cutting edge of things, and that in order to do these I need their help.

I want to be a teacher because my team is my students. We are going to learn everything together.

I want to be a teacher because their are so many kids in this world that just need someone to listen to them, and I will be that one person they may need.

I want to be a teacher because I remember the best teacher I had ever had and I remember that all she did was correct our work, give us feedback, let us re-do things for full credit, and understood that we were trying. We as students were learning and she was watching.

That is only a few of the reasons that I want to be a teacher. I want to be a mentor for those who need it, and I want to keep myself educated as long as I can. What's the best way to do that? By being involved in education!
