I Will Be A Teacher For All The Right Reasons

And I don't care about the negative opinions.

I Will Be A Teacher For All The Right Reasons
Pinellas County Schools / Vimeo

Yes, I want to be a teacher and no, I do not want your opinion on that. Have you ever tutored a child or helped them with their homework? Have you ever seen their face when they finally caught on to what you were trying to teach them? If you never have then maybe that is why you do not understand why I want to be a teacher. But, that is not even the main reason that I want to be a teacher even if it is one of them.

I want to be a teacher and I don't care about the salary. I want to be a teacher because I want to make children want to come to school. I want them to know school is a safe place for them to be no matter what is going on at home. I want to be a teacher and I want to show my students valuable lessons that maybe one day they will remember whether it's a life lesson or an educational lesson. I want to be a teacher because I have a desire to teach children and watch them learn.

I want to be a teacher for those moments that my students actually understand what I am teaching and they have the look on their face like they actually do. I want to be a teacher to help make a difference in their lives by chance whether they actually remember me or not. I want to be a teacher because I want to be there for my students when they need me whatever the reason may be. I want to be a teacher to make an impact on them and help them in any way I can.

I know every day will be different and every day will not be easy. I know I will have to overcome many obstacles and have to figure out what is right for my class. I know sometimes my students will act out and I will have to discipline them. But I know that I want to do all of this for the rest of my life. I want to be a teacher and what others think of that does not matter to me.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
