I think there's such a stigma against going into teaching nowadays. You may not make a lot of money at it, but if the job makes you happy, to me, that's worth a million bucks. There are so many reasons why people decide to be teachers, here are some of mine!

1. I Actually Love School

I've always been the person who loves learning and I enjoyed being in school. I loved doing homework (I know, weird right?) and I would really like to show my students that there is enjoyment to be had in school! There's such a negative stigma around being in a primary learning environment that I wish to change that later on.

2. I Love Learning About Different Cultures

I want to get a license in English as a Second Language so I can teach non-native English speakers English. It's a great opportunity because you get to see firsthand what other cultures are like.

3. Summers Off

I mean who doesn't like a break?? :)

4. The Impact You Make On Your Students

Teachers are the ones who make direct impacts on their students. They help form their dreams and turn them into reality! It's such an amazing experience!

5. My Credentials Are Portable

You aren't stuck in a "dead-end job" because you can take what you have and know and apply it to literally anything.

6. The Opportunity To Keep Learning and Growing

In life, you never stop growing and learning. As a teacher, you will find yourself more literate about the world around us because you can see it through the minds of your students. You learn how to grow as a person and put someone else's needs in front of your own.

7. The Opportunity To Make Children Smile

Making people happy comes with the job and it's such a great thing! I mean you spend every day with them and help them create amazing futures for them.

8. The Work Environment Is Never Dull

You're always doing something new and there's always something new going on!

9. It's An Outlet For Creativity

Look up Pinterests of classroom ideas because the things you can do to be creative is unbelievable.

10. The Chance To Change The Future

Kids are the future, it's true. Whatever you may not like about the present, as an educator you have the ability to influence your students and create a brighter future for the world.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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

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.
