Now that my peers and I are pursuing our careers, I can see a tremendous difference between the way that I live and the way that many of them, including my roommate, live. For starters, the incomes from our jobs differ greatly. She can afford so many things that I can only dream about. Teachers work with the future. They stand in front of our future leaders and guide them.
Teachers are mothers, fathers, friends, and counselors.
I chose education as a career because I know what my teachers did for me. I now choose to pass the knowledge and self-esteem that I gained to others. I am willing, ready, and able to prepare a child to be a lawyer, doctor, judge, or for any other profession that he or she may choose. I want to help children love themselves just as they are. However, realistically, I have to keep in mind that the cost of living is rising.
