Such a simple question and yet so loaded in a way. :) I'd have to say it's because it's where I am happiest. I started in this major when I was 21 because it was something that I thought I would love and thoroughly enjoy. However I got stumped when I was about 2 years behind in the math classes so I couldn't get into the program. That's when I started listening to friends and family and taking ALL of their advice. Bad news. So here it is folks...the list of my majors. Elementary Ed, English, English Education, Hotel Management, Film, and finally back to Elementary Ed. It's the ONLY place I have actually enjoyed going to class! I am someone who has to be motivated to REALLY get into what they do. If I am passionate about a project then I will go to ridiculous lengths to make sure it is awesome. That's how I feel about teaching! It's where my passion is. Elementary school is such an awesome place to form ideas and really have fun with learning! I have never quite grown up (ie there are Disney art prints on my walls at home) so getting to be around kids all day gives me an excuse to not (fully) grow up. I'd have to say teaching (as far as professions go) is my home.
This is a great story and thank you for sharing it with me. I am excited that you have decided to go into the world of teaching and that you are going to make a difference in students lives...positive differences. I look forward to help you on the road to becoming a great teacher!
