Why I am choosing to become a teacher

I was originally a pre-vet major, but I realized that my heart was actually with the kids. I chose to become a teacher because I love working with children. I love watching children discover new things in life. All children need a positive influence in their lives, and I believe I can be that influence. I work in an after-school program and have seen that the children want you to be not only a teacher but also a "friend", someone they can talk to and rely on. I had several teachers that I consider a "friend" because I know they are there to lend a listening ear for all of their students.
