My choice to become a teacher
My passion and love for being a teacher started my childhood. I respected even loved my teachers. I loved to learn. Even though they advised me there were better paths available I chose teaching. The dream of success motivates me to study. I become a teacher so that:
I can continue my learning.
I can share my skills with colleagues.
I can bring some difference in learning and teaching.
I can make learning a joyful experience.
I can have a respectable position in society.
I can have job satisfaction and peace of mind.
To be a teacher someday who will be just as effective as my past teachers have been with me. They made a difference in my life and in my future and one day, I hope to give the same to my students. What motivates me and keeps me going is knowing that one day I too can make a positive difference in a child’s life. With so much going on in today’s world, children need role models to look up to and someone to encourage and motivate them.
I find that wanting to help, to encourage, and to inspire others motivate me to continue at studying. Teaching is rewarding because you are giving back all that was given to you to someone else. Life’s trials will take us for tailspins but we continue to strive for our dreams, especially when there are others a part of that dream.
For any country, there's a future of success or the progress of their people lies in the teacher's hand. What we become in our life that also depends on a teacher. While explaining the teacher always try to give the best information and related data to his students. Therefore the teacher has an important part in our life to get succeed. Becoming a teacher has way too many benefits for me to completely list.
Once a teacher-always a teacher.
