As a child, you are asked the famous question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" For me, that answer has always been a teacher. No one could persuade me otherwise and I always knew this would be something I wanted to do the rest of my life. As I grew older, the passion grew deeper and now, as I enter my second semester of my sophomore year of college, my answer is still the same. I attend Benedictine University and am majoring in Elementary Education and minoring in Spanish. Teaching is more than a career for me, it is my passion.
I believe I was placed on this Earth to make a difference in someone's life. As a teacher, I can do just that. The primary focus of teaching is for the benefit of the students, and to see their success will be my reward. I will be teaching the future doctors, nurses, and engineers of this world, and I will have a year to influence and help them find their own passions, just as I had found mine. Being a teacher requires a lot of outside time and sacrifices, but I am willing to make this my lifestyle.
