At the end of the day, there are few professions where a person can actually
say they made a positive difference in the life of another human being.
Teachers do that every single day. Even on those days when nothing seems to
work, the kids are off the wall, the principal is calling another meeting and
some parent is breathing down your neck, you will have touched some kid,
somehow. It is easy to sleep at night knowing what you are doing is good and
right. You will always know why you do what you do. Clearly, it’s not money or
status that keeps teachers returning to hot buildings every August, it is the
need to help others and the knowledge that we are.
So, you still think you want to be a teacher? Great! Go for it! It’s the best
decision you’ll ever make.
