I tutored her and other peers, knew the mathematics and science content better than they did, and graduated with higher honors than most of them. I chose education as my major even though I certainly had other options. 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.
