It has always been my goal to teach at the college level. I have taught for eight years and I am excited to teach the subject that I am most passionate about!

Why do you want to be an educator?

User-Submitted Answers

I have always known that I wanted to be an educator since I was a young girl. It is a very rewarding experience from the days playing school with my friends when I would pretend to teach them; and now, with eight years of teaching experience in the classroom, I know it is the right place for me.

Because I want to create a useable past.

Because |I|'m a student so I want to give back what I've been taught.

Because I have a passion for it.
