      Entry Level

      "I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my life when I got to college, so my career counselor recommended taking a range of classes. I really enjoyed classes related to English and education. I knew quickly that I would take the path of becoming an educator. Through my student teaching, I have come to love working with others and coaching them to success."

      Answer Example

      "I used to volunteer at my church, teaching ESL students. My favorite part about it was talking to immigrants and learning about their culture. I learned that I'm good at coaching, and I liked building relationships. I started researching other careers where I could use these skills. I discovered the field of adult education, and I returned to school. I'm so glad I chose this field because I get to do exactly what I love."

      Experienced

      "Both of my parents were educators, and, for that reason, I have always seen this career path as the best option for me. I saw how happy it made my parents, and I always wanted a career as fulfilling as theirs. It has proven to be just that, and I truly feel it is my calling to speak into the lives of others and help them reach new heights."
