“I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.” ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann“

This quote talks about teachers not only teaching school lessons, but also lessons about life. This quote shows how much of an impact teachers really could have on students.

I became interested in the career field while doing an activity in 5th grade, where we helped the kindergarteners learn the letters.

After learning all of this, I am not 100% sure if I want to be a teacher. Being in a school all of my life is not something that excites me. I would also like a bigger salary. Although, watching students grow and improve each day and building relationships with each one of them excites me. My overall learning experience is I am not completely sure if this is the career I want to be in. I need to continue to look at my options and go from there.
