Tell us why you became a teacher

The reason I became a teacher is too make a difference in kids life. To guide them in the right path of learning. The world is changing and education is too. There were things I didn't learn that I foundnout about as I became grown that I feel I cannteach the kids of today. When I became a mother myself I realize working with kids was a passion for me. Kids ars funny and very intelligent. I feel as being a teacher kids can also teach you a few things.
