Why I chose to become a teacher.
I found that although I spent two years in college without a major, I frequently found myself in the education field. This was working with a middle school softball team, volunteering at the Boys an Girls Club, and several other experiences that lead me here. I was once told that you don't choose education, education chooses you, and through my experiences, I found this to be true.

Education does choose you. When I began college, I was taking course for medical transcriptionist. Of course I had to take Algebra. I found that I was able to help my fellow classmates understand and later to help other students by tutoring them. That's when I realized that I enjoyed helping other students and should persue becoming a teacher.
ReplyDeleteThe way I decided to teach is very similar to the way you decided! I coach a 5th grade cheerleading squad in the fall. It's so much fun being able to share something you enjoy with small children. Education is something one is called to do...not just anyone can become a teacher....it's a gift!! =)
ReplyDeleteI think that saying is very true! I was a nursing major, got accepted, and completed a year in the school! Then I realized that nursing wasn't for me. You have made a great decision and the field is better for having you!!
