This is key because it allows us to view upon other teacher’s reflection and really causes us to ask ourselves why we want to become teachers. It was refreshing to learn their experiences and sort of connect them to our experiences growing up and sort of developing the motivation to one day teach students of our own.

My father was a teacher at a middle school and recommended that I'd do some substitute teaching to get some income during the time that I would search for a job. Over time, substituting at the school my father worked at, I enjoyed the experience of doing different classrooms and interacting with the kids and other teachers. I came to discover, unlike other jobs, teaching allowed the day to be lively and exciting but at the same time very productive, with a lot of purpose, avoiding the monotonous routine. It was also a pleasure to see students understand new concepts and change over a period of time.
