Why do I want to be a Teacher

This quote sums up exactly why I want to be a teacher. My favorite is quote of all is "I can be Mom and Dad, Therapist and Hug-giver, Judge and Rule-foller, and never stop loving."  As a teacher we have to be all of these things even when we want to give up! 

      I had a teacher that was every one of those things to me. It was in 3rd grade she was my idol. I think that she has a huge impact on the reason I wanted to be a teacher. I also had a teacher in 5th grade that taught me to respect myself and then to do my very best work always. This teacher also read the Giver to our class and during that time I HATED reading but I was so into the book. I asked my mom if she would buy it for me and I finished the book that night. I couldn't put the book down. I learned that day that there were some good books I just had to find the one for me. I recently read the rest of the series and could not put the books down. I want to be a teacher to make a difference in a students life just like these teachers did for me.
