Everyone who knows me knows that I want to be a teacher. I always have; always will. It's always something I have wanted to pursue as a career. So, here are six reasons why I want to be a teacher.

1. I'm addicted to school supplies.

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with school supplies. I have Stabilo pens, Statedler pens, which, by the way, are both really amazing brands to own. My obsession is out of control. In both of my desk drawers, I have at least 10 highlighters, 5 sets of pens and thirty old fashioned #2 pencils. So, yes, I'm the girl who always lets you borrow a pen or pencil.

2. Even though I kind of like the summer, there's something about not being in a classroom that makes me a *little* sad.

But when I'm off from school in the summer, I like to relax, just like any other person.

3. I always look at teaching blogs. I'm not even certified as a teacher yet, and I get so excited looking at these kinds of websites. I also look at the Pinterest education section just to get ideas and I get so giddy on the inside. Personally, if that's not a sign, then I don't know what is!

4. It's not about the money. I would rather work two jobs rather than work one job and it not being a passion of mine. As they say, do what you love.

5., There's a certain feeling when kids get so excited to see you. In high school, I volunteered at a local elementary school (it actually counted towards graduation!) and let me tell you, it was the best experience in the world. I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
