To change the world --- one child at a time. I want to make an impact on this earth. I want to serve other. Next to parenting, I can not think of any other possible way for myself to accomplish these goals. Because it is through teaching that we provide others with knowledge to make them successful - whatever that might mean to them.
Teaching has been a life long goal for me. I knew since I was ten that I wanted to be a teacher. The only question was when. Because I needed to serve my county and myself in other ways first - in order to be ready - truly ready - to impart on children knowledge that could help them.
I chose early elementary teaching because it seems that at times I am like the pied piper of young children. I always have children I don't even know striking up a conversation with me. So I feel more like they picked me then I picked them. And the most important skill I want to teach is reading because I believe that reading is the gateway to anything else you may want to do.
Teaching is a calling. It's not a job. It's not even a profession. It's truly a calling. I've heard mine.
