Why I Want to Teach

Growing up I always had someone pushing me academically, and that was my own mom. She has taught at the elementary and high school levels, and she is currently a 5th grade math teacher at Camp Dick Robinson Elementary. I always looked up to her and she showed me the impact that a teacher can have on student's lives and that is the main reason I want to teach. I want to be an extra role model to kids, and for some, possibly their primary role model.
