Why I Want 2

I have not always wanted to be a teacher. I knew that I wanted to be able to help people and make a difference, and this was the factor that made me originally go into the nursing field. I soon realized that this was not making me completely happy, and quickly found what would make me happy, becoming a teacher.
There are so many reasons that I chose this as a profession. It is hard to think of just one particular reason I want to be a teacher there are so many it would be impossible to narrow it down. Being a teacher is very rewarding profession because you are constantly learning something new. Not only do you learn from technological advancements and co-workers but from the students as well. The main reasons that made me pick this profession would have to be the multiple ways it is rewarding and it gives me the opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.
When you become a teacher you are not only responsible for educating your students, it comes with more responsibility then that. You are now a role model for these students and their community. Students are with teachers eight hours of their day and sometimes consider their teachers as second parents. Being held to this standard you have now become a role model.
Being a good role model means to respect, love, instruct and guide students as they grow older.
As a teacher I want to teach my students more than just the educational side of growing up. I want to teach them how to establish good relationships, guide their behavior, and how to communicate effectively because these are all lessons that are necessary to becoming a well rounded person.

shape our future generation and professions. When someone asks me why teachers are important to our communities my answer would be that the best thing of our communities are our children.
If we do not give them the best teachers and role models and we are failing them and their futures. Teachers are the most important profession in the world because without great teachers there would be no other professions. It is important to commitment to your students in order to give them the best learning experience as possible. When you are committed to being a teacher is easier to work harder and carry out your goal of making a difference.
I believe that I will make a great teacher. I am committed to making a difference in someone’s life by helping develop confidence and self worth into my students. Being a teacher take patience, compassion, kindness, humor, intelligence, strength, courage, love and confidence which are all great traits I believe I have. I am ready to shape and mold our future generation of great adults.
