I know there are things in science and math that are hard. But I feel like I ve been stuck on each and every one of those things. I want to show students that it doesn t have to be hard. I want to help them get through difficult concepts. I m pretty excited about the thought of teaching.
Teaching is a privledge and a serious profession.
There are few other professions in which you have as great an effect on other people as teaching. The responsibility is great and should be taken seriously. At the same time teaching should be fun. You have the opportunity to explore and define a subject area that you have commited your career to. Students bring new insights to a lesson.
