9 Signs You Were Born To Be A Teacher

You've been on a long journey through school, and now you're in college. You've experienced some really good teachers as well as some really terrible ones. You aspire to be like the good ones and hope to change your own students' lives. Here are the signs that you were born to be a teacher.

1. You helped other students and younger siblings with their homework.

You loved to play teacher when you were younger and you were good at it.

2. You are creative.


You have the magical power of thinking of different and creative ways to teach a concept to others and make it fun at the same time.

3. Grammatical errors bother you.


Like, they really bother you. There is a difference between their, there, and they're and two, too and to. You don't understand how people your age still don't know the difference.

4. Standardized testing drives you crazy.


You don't understand it at all. Every student is different and should not be tested like this.

5. You always put yourself in others' shoes.

You constantly try to understand others and where they are coming from. You know that you will be understanding of your students.

6. You have an idea of what you want your future classroom to look like.


You probably have a Pinterest board for different ways to organize and decorate your classroom.

7. People tell you all the time that you will make a great teacher.


Hearing this is super encouraging and confirms that you are going into the right field.

8. You always hear how you won't make any money.


But you really don't care because you're not in it for the money. You want to change and inspire children's lives. This is not a field to go into if you want to be rich.

9. It's hard for you to picture yourself going into any other field.

You have always wanted to be a teacher for as long as you can remember, and you really cannot see yourself doing anything else. You will be a great teacher.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
