THE VERDICT...

TO BE OR NOT TO BE A TEACHER?
All things considered, I believe that teaching is a career that I may want to pursue. I have always enjoyed working with people, and helping others learn gives me a feeling of self-worth.

I love to read, and I'm a pretty creative person, so being an English teacher is my goal. Writing comes pretty naturally for me. I hope to inspire my students to do their best while finding a little enjoyment in the study of literature!

I say, "Just do it!"
Even though the pay isn't great, and the hours can be long, it's a job that brings something new each day.
