Why Teach?

When asked the question, why teach?  The first thing that came to mind was that I liked working with children.  Working at my job teaching swimming lessons I have worked lots with kids and really enjoy this.  I think that kids are so entertaining and fun to work with.  You never know quite what is going to happen when working with children, they keep you on your toes.  I think that working as a teacher is a very rewarding job to have.  I want to have a job that I feel I am making a difference and I think that teaching is a great job to do just that.  It is a very respectful job to have and something that I can be proud of.  Altough teaching will have some challenges I am looking forward to being a teacher.
