The first reason I chose to Teach: to SUPPORT.

I know there are many students who are struggling. Deeply Struggling. With things from academics to family to friendships to issues with their own bodies. I also know that many of those struggling students feel they have no one they can turn to for support or help.

I know because I have been that student. I felt like I had no one and I was alone. And because of this, school was incredibly difficult and I could not focus. Then one teacher changed that for me. She was always there when I needed her.

I want to be that teacher for my students. I want to be the one person they know is always there for them. The person they know they can turn to with any problem and I will help them to the best of my abilities.

Struggling with problems makes school incredibly hard for students. I want to do everything I can to take away those problems so that my students can enjoy school and find it a little less difficult to deal with.

TO INSPIRE

The second reason I want to Teach: to INSPIRE

Many students feel like they are not good enough. Not smart enough. Or talented or pretty enough. And this can cause them to give up on trying to accomplish anything or reach for goals.

I was that student who just gave up. I didn't think I could succeed at anything worth while so I stopped trying. But that one teacher who supported me through everything also helped me to realize that I have to keep trying and never give up.

I want to be able to do that for my students. To help them realize that they can do anything they want, even if people think they cannot. I want to inspire them t reach for their dreams and never give up, like that teacher did for me.

I believe that if our students do not try as hard as they can, the world will not be nearly as successful in its future, and I want my students to continue to reach for their dreams, no matter how high or difficult they may seem.

TO SUPPORT

The final reason I chose teaching: to ACCEPT.

There are students who feel alone. Feel like no one cares about them. Like they are have been rejected by everyone. I was that student who felt like no one wanted me around. Other students, teachers - everyone rejected me.

I want to be one person that studnets can count on to accept them and respect and appreciate them. That person who they know will always care about them even if it feels like the rest of the world does not. That person they can go to when they feel they have no one else, who will not judge them and will not criticize them.
