"My Love Affair with Education"

Growing up I wanted to be many things a ballerina, a doctor, a Nascar driver, you name it. Then something amazing happened I realized I wanted to be a teacher. My love affair with education began in second grade when one of my most beloved teachers Mrs. Adams gave me the permission to go and teach her class for a day. I cannot begin to describe the rush that I got when I stood in front of those kindergartners, I felt like a giant compared to them. I remembered how tentative they were of what I said and most importantly their tenacity to start projects. I made cards with them I recited the numbers. I felt like I had just found my true calling. Everyday was something new, some new question arose from a curious child. Those days were short but to me their affect will last forever. I feel that if that would have never happened I wouldn't know to this day what I wanted to do, what dream would I be pursuing today.
