I believe, teachers do more than teach, and their impact extends far beyond the classroom. Teachers are more than just an educator: they are a mentor, a confidant and a friend. The reason I would like to become a teacher is to make a difference in the lives of as many students as I can.

Teachers have the potential to interact with students at all stages of development and from all walks of life. A great teacher wants to help students along this path and to play a part in shaping the person they will ultimately become. If I want to help a child struggling with low self-esteem and problems at home, I would become a teacher to encourage them and help them realize their potential. Becoming a teacher allows me to impart life lessons that they will never forget and places me in a position to influence their decisions, behaviours, strengths, weaknesses and imaginations. Essentially, becoming a teacher enables me to take part in shaping the next generation.
