Why I Teach

I decided to complete my own task...There were so many reasons why I am a part of the education field! Here are 11 reasons why I teach.  I hope you were able to complete your task as easily as I was able to complete mine!

1.       I am a lifelong learner, so what better place to be?  The classroom of course!

2.       I want to instill a love for learning in others.

3.       The younger generations will someday have to take care of me, so I would like to be a part of the process that helps to give the knowledge needed to successfully take care of the older generation.

4.       I had someone who took the time out for me…Why not do the same for someone else?

5.       I enjoy a challenge.  Teaching gives me that each day.

6.       There are always surprises.

7.       I want to be able to touch the children’s hearts that needed someone the most at what may seem like the worst time in their lives.

8.       Teaching helps me to understand others better.

9.       Teaching allows me to practice genuine empathy for others.  This is a skill which so many people lack.

10.   Teaching keeps me going each day.  Even if I don’t feel like getting up out of the bed, no matter how tired I am I will get up because I know there are lots of younger people waiting to see me and hear what I have to say each day. 

11.   Besides, I love what I do!
