Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B2, field of study: Sciences de l'education)

The first person who told me about Education Sciences was my mother. She's an english teacher herself and i was expressing my desire of becoming a teacher at that time. At first as a math teacher so I went to Rennes studying math & economy. After figuring out it was too difficult for me to success in these topics I opted for Education Sciences to pursue my dream. I guess what really inspired me was all the great teachers i had during my scholarship, especially a math teacher I had in my last year of high-school. It really made me realize you can have a great impact on young people by just being good at your job, by developing links with your pupils with the idea of pushing them up. It's great to have some adults that don't treat you like an inferior human when you're still young, that you can have real conversations with without fearing anything or feeling judged. I was also inspired by friends that knew a little about Education Sciences, they pushed me in that direction at a time I wasn't sure if I wanted to study anymore. Beside that it's really a confort-zone type of motivation, I know what the job looks like, how's the environment like... It's a pretty securing choice for me, especially with the insurance of having a life-time job (To this day at least).
