The reasons I got into teaching


Why I teach

These are the reasons that I got into teaching. I started working at an afterschool program at a nearby elementary school to earn some extra cash and try my hand at teaching. While I did get a serious hazing by the kids, I got hooked. I looked forward to going to work and hanging out with the kids, unlike my other job. It is truly inspiring to see kids that come from so little, try so hard to be better. The kids were beautiful, caring, and truly good. But for some reason I decided that I wanted to teach high school history. Maybe one day I'll get my multi-subject credential and go back to working with the little ones. Who knows.
