story board

-At 4 I wanted to be a check out clerk at the

grocery store.

At 6, an oil change man.

At 8, a singer.

At 13, a renaissance faire performer.

And at 17, an auto mechanic.

However, I am going to become a

teacher.

Until 3 years ago I was resolved

against the teaching profession.

My mom is a teacher.

My dad is a teacher.

To me, teachers were overworked,

tired and frustrated.

I grew up wanting to be something

different.

I now see that, yes, teachers are all of

those things: overworked, tired,

and frustrated.

The difference between then and

now is the possibility that makes it all

worth it.

My goal and fuel as a teacher is to open

up new realms of possibility for

students.

Realms of new found excellence.

Of unexpected love and support.

Of realized importance.

Education is critical.Yet teachers merely

educate.

I don’t really want to be a teacher.

I want to be a presenter of possibilities.
