Ever since I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a teacher. I have always enjoyed the idea of helping others and sharing my knowledge with them, while learning from them. In recalling my experience as a student, I learned the most from teachers who were concerned with the involvement and the progress of their students. A statement that I often hear uttered by educators is, “teachers cannot do it alone;” more importantly, each person makes a difference. I feel that I can make a positive impact on the students of today and help them to be the leaders of the future with the proper training and guidance.  I know that being an outstanding teacher is an ongoing process, and I believe that teaching involves more than lecturing while the students listen. Furthermore, I will work tirelessy to ensure that my role of the teacher is clear to the students.
