I have always wanted to do something that I thought would help people, and when I was in high school I had a teacher who was amazing. He made being a teacher seem like the greatest job in the world. This is when I decided to become a teacher and I have never been disappointed with my decision. I love the idea that everyday I come to work I can make a difference in someones life, that is an incredible responsibility. I don't think of myself as a hero and we don't always know if we are making the impact that we want to, but once in a while you get that afformation and it is so rewarding. I am in my 13th year of teaching and I am just as excited today as I was when I started and it seems like the students need positive role models now more that ever.
