Educators have one of the most important jobs in the world. Without them, there wouldn't be any doctors, lawyers, or really anything else. Being an educator is such an awarding profession. Here are a few reasons as to why I want to be an educator.

1. Not for the money.

I am fully aware that there are hundreds of other professions that pay far more than being an educator. I'm choosing to be a teacher for reasons much more important than how much I will make. Knowing that I will have the chance to positively impact my students lives to help them be the most successful they can be, is way more valuable than any amount of money will ever be.

2. To make a difference in the lives of as many students as I can.

Teachers do more than just teach. They can impact their students in a way that goes far beyond the classroom. They are extremely influential to each and every one of their students and have the power to make a positive difference in their students lives. I want to be able to play a part in helping shape my students into the people they will ultimately become.

3. To prepare them for the rest of their lives

Without teachers, no one would be able to make it through the most basic aspects of life. I will be supplying them with information they will need and use for the rest of their lives. Knowing that I will have that big of an impact on someone is enough of a reason for me to become an educator.

4. To support them

I am their teacher inside the classroom but I will also support them with everything outside of the classroom. I want nothing but for them to succeed not only in my class but in life as well. Teachers are more than just teaches, they are mentors, confidants, and support systems.
