Opinion of teaching profession: We have all heard of teachers complaining about the
teaching salary, but to me it is not about the money. Teaching is about helping children
succeed and preparing them for not only academics, but for life. A good teacher cares
about his or her students and will do whatever it takes to make sure they are on the
right path.

I want to work with, it has given me joy with my classmates and the kids I work with,
and most importantly, a step ahead in my career.
