Teaching has always been a dream of mine, as a child I would gather paper and crayons and pretend to teach my stuffed animals. Yes it sounds silly but looking back I realize that it has always been a passion of mine to teach and inspire my students to try their best. Helping children learn is what gives me the drive to want to be a teacher. When I saw the heading of this post I was excited to read it because I know that I agree with the topic. Education is the field that helps shape what our future will become. To some students their teacher is their hero, they open their mind to such new and exciting things. I work in a preschool classroom and have been doing so for the past 3 years, and seeing those little faces when I tell them that we are going to be painting or playing blocks is what makes my day and inspires me to keep doing what I do.
