Why I Want to be a Teacher Part One

Part I

Halloween 2014 I told the world "I'm going to be a Mummy!" I had already wanted to be an elementary school teacher since the second grade. I used to sit and teach the other children I grew up with to speak English. (I grew up in a predominantly Bosnian and Turkish community.) At that point, being pregnant with my own child made me realize the even greater importance of a child's education. I guess in a way you could call it selfish, but when it comes to your own child EVERYTHING gets put into a different perspective. The things you teach a child at a young age, are the foundation of the knowledge they will have as adults. That fact struck me hard.
