Why I want to become a teacher?

             Teachers enhance the lives of our young children by using their teaching methods to deliver valuable information which will serve purpose throughout their lives. Teachers have a great power. They have the power to make a positive or a negative impression embedded in the minds of children that they teach.
             As a mother of 4 boys, I often reflect back to my childhood and think about the teachers who touched my life. As Mr. Bray, my 3rd grade teacher, taught my oldest son in Kindergarten three years ago. Now, as my second oldest son ventures of to Kindergarten this year, Mrs. Eisenbart (my 1st grade teacher) will be teaching my son. I think to myself, what an experience this is. Two outstanding teachers who touched my life will now touch the lives of my children. Children remember a few of their teachers, but not all. Children remember the memorable ones. I hope to be a memorable teacher who teaches the children valuable information and being a strong role model for children to look up to.
             I enjoy volunteering in our community and enjoy helping to make programs better for the children. Volunteering is great and I will always volunteer to help make programs better for my children. However, volunteers do not get paid. If I got paid for the hours of service that I provide then I would be rich. People often ask: "How do you to it?" "Why do you do it?" My response is always the same. "I DO IT FOR THE KIDS" and "My husband is makes my volunteering possible". Therefore, as I decide on my final career (other than full-time mother) I know that my passion would be best suited to teach our young developing children. I want to keep my options open but I think my main focus will be teaching children in the elementary school level.
