Also, since I am body-smart, I use hand gestures a lot which would be something I’d have to do while teaching. Lastly, since books are important to me, it would be easy for me to study in college or university when in the process of becoming a teacher because I’d enjoy it.

Also, if I were to become a counselor, I will be able to read or see pictures of my clients’ lives or problems in order to help them because I’m also a visual learner.
