Why I Have Chosen to be a Teacher

As a third grader I knew exactly what it was that I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Helping people seem to come natural and it also gave me a good feeling. As I grew older I realized more and more how important an education was. History was also a subject I loved, and it could always hold my attention. More than ever we need educators who actually put their hearts into their profession. It seems as though as students lose interest, so does the teacher. This is exactly the opposed of what needs to happen. So as a young African-American woman, I strive to change this mind set.
