There are many reasons why I want to dedicate my life to teaching, but the main reason is the satisfaction I get after having taught and see how people apply it to their lives. I love seeing children and adults learn new things and be excited about it. I want to be able to teach life skills that will go far past the four walls, such as leadership and public speaking. Everyone deserves to feel confident and I hope that my students would gain that through my teaching. My passion for teaching goes beyond words, but I know that no matter what my career is, I want to be a teacher.
