Hi, my name is Jannet. I am a college student pursuing to become an elementary school teacher. Every since I was a young child I always knew I wanted to become a teacher. I remember always wanting to play school with my friends and family. I believe that the root of me wanting to become a teacher is my passion for wanting to help others. I want to be a good example for others and impact many peoples life. Working with children will give me that opportunity. I was really moved with the connection you used between a teacher and a hero’s journey. A teacher is like a hero to their students. Many students will come with many challenges. Just like a hero’s journey a teacher’s journey won’t always be easy, however there is nothing more fulfilling that defeating the challenges that are put in front of you. I have always been inspired to help children. I really can not see myself doing anything else because there is nothing more rewarding in life than helping others.
