Education has been my key to places and people that otherwise I would not have been exposed. It has opened doors for me to better myself and give my family a better future. This is why I have decided to be a teacher. I want to tell kids that with an education there is no place that you cannot go. I believe that you can lead a child to achieve more than what he or she imagines is possible.
Many children come into the school system from poor families and with low self esteems.
I want to be a part of showing them that they do not have to walk the same path that maybe their parents did. I believe that I can be an encourager to those who have never been encouraged. I have seen too many intelligent children fall into the trap of low self esteem, which has led them down a path of disappointment. This is not where they have to remain. I had influential people in my life who told me that I could be and do anything.
