After answering questions about why I want to become a teacher, who or what influenced me, what I hoped to accomplish as a teacher, and what my legacy will be, I felt more prepared and better understand why teaching is for me. While some answers to these questions will change, I know for sure that the one answer will remain the same. The answer is that I want to become a teacher because not only do I love children and this is something I see myself doing for the rest of my life, but because I want to make a difference in my students.
