I want to be a teacher for many reasons...most of which seem to change daily :) I had an amazing teacher in middle school that really pushed and challenged me to think critically about life and learning instead of just blindly accepting facts - something that has stuck with me througout my education. He, among a slew of other positive teaching inflences, is what helped point me in the direction of teaching as my profession. I love kids of all ages, and teaching is one way to be a hands-on daily influence to them. Ultimately, I want to be in a public school setting. I grew up in a private Christian school and, to be honest, it helped me see the need for positive Christian influence in secular circles too. I also love learning, and being a teacher is one way to ensure that my learning will continue.
Technology is, undoubtably, deeply rooted in our society - to ignore it in the classroom would be a disservice to both the students and ourselves. The students are the future of our country and of our world - we need to prepare them for the future and to be successful in an ever-growing and changing technological era.
