Why I decided to be a teacher...

I have always wanted to be a teacher. I remember when I was young I would play school with the neighborhood kids. During the summer we would have class every Monday at 10 a.m. Thought out my later years I found new interests, but the love of learning and teaching never left. I love to teach and watch children learn and grow. My favorite part is when you see a child with the look of excitement when they understand the concepts. I like to call these the “Aw-ha” moments when they become engaged in learning. I love to explore, and with exploration comes new knowledge. We learn from each other and have fun while learning. This is why I wanted to be a teacher. I want my students find this same excitement that I have for learning. I want them to continue to seek knowledge and find new ways to look at the world. This can only be done when they have a love for learning…I hope I can instill that into each of them.
