I've had a passion for English for as long as I can remember. When I was a small child, I wanted to speak English so that I could sing along to Alex Dupont (I desperately tried to, even though I had no idea what I was saying). My mum sent me and my younger brother to an English afterschool class when I was 5 or 6 and I loved it, or so she constantly reminded me, I mostly remember eating chocolate cake there. When I started learning English formally at school, the interest just grew even more. I wanted to be the best in the class, I wanted to be able to read in English, watch movies in English and speak English like a native speaker. But I never wanted to be an English teacher.
I find it quite funny that I never really considered it as a potential career option until I was already doing it, but to me and as learner, teaching English was never the goal. My goal was only to become perfectly fluent. More than that actually, I wanted to fool people. I wanted people to hear me speak English and not even be able to tell where I was from or that I wasn't a native speaker. 
I achieved that goal when I was in my early twenties and that's when I realised that I had a special skill that maybe I could share (or a currency that I could trade on). I was living in Paris and got the opportunity to teach English as a second language in a language school so I just seized that opportunity and started working as a teacher. Against all exceptions, I really enjoyed it and just kept doing it until it became a career. This was just something I could do and seemed to be able to do well enough. At first, it really was just a job, until I realised that I didn't want to do anything else, that this was something I genuinely liked and looked forward to. 
So, to answer the question "what inspired me to become an English teacher?", I don't think I have a good answer to that. I think I found the inspiration in doing it, in needing to find ways to teach better, to help students improve, or even to inspire them. But the choice to become an English teacher is deeply rooted in one thing and this thing is love for the language. A love that never faded and I hope never will.
