Passion and preparation. It comes down to wanting to prepare others for the future by sharing our knowledge of and passion for the subjects we love.
ReplyDeleteI have always gravitated towards teaching. Back in middle school and high school I helped tutor my friends. In undergrad I had a part time job tutoring, which I loved. In grad school the only part of it that I enjoyed was being a teaching assistant. When I look back at my life it really seems like the only option for a career that gives me fulfillment and isn't just a paycheck. I really get enjoyment out of a student telling me they get it.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I wanted a job where I could help people. The jobs I've had teaching others made me feel the happiest. Plus, I have always enjoyed wanted a career where I perform a variety of jobs. To me, teaching is a job with lots of variety that lets me be creative, talk about something I love, interact with people. I like a job that's always changing and I can do different things.
