I am a math education major and will become a teacher in a few years. I am excited and thrilled, but also nervous and stressed. What will it entail? Can I even make a difference? Will I be able to inspire my students?
Growing up I have always loved math, it has been my favorite subject since I was small, I have no idea how or why I started to like math as a young child. But I love helping people with math. I would help my friends and would even teach the class when the teacher was gone and loved it! Some people say that I have a natural talent for knowing how to answer other's questions and guide them to the right answer. I just know that I love the glowing smile that creeps up on their face when the concept "clicks" for them.
I am just barely learning how to be a teacher and a lot of the classes are overwhelming and there is so much information and expectations. Hopefully I learn what I need to, to become the best teacher that I can be. At this point in my education, I just know that I want to be able to make a difference. Have the world be better because I inspired some student that goes on to do some amazing thing.
