Being a teacher means making a difference. LaCour says the impact a teacher has on an individual can be lifelong.
“As a teacher, you can be a catalyst for change in a person's life, propelling them on to opportunities and greatness,” she says. “It's powerful to know that you can contribute to someone’s life and help them get opportunities they may not have otherwise had.
“If you're seeking a way to positively impact others and make your community a better place, teaching's a very good choice.”
