This I believe

Teaching to me is the foundation of everything to come. By being able to share the knowledge I have learned with children that will go through the same things is phenomenal. Not only does teaching help children learn and have their minds grow, teaching is a very fulfilling profession. While other professions make more money, I am yet to hear a teacher complain about their salary. Teaching isn't just a job, it's a definite way of life. Taking the time out to not care about myself but have the responsibility to care for others is special. Teaching to me will just give my hard work and dedication some respect and reassurance.

I agree with many parts of Krist's statement. I thought it was really interesting when she said that teaching is a way to care about others and not constantly focus on yourself. I think it is impossible to be a good teacher and not genuinely care about the children. I also agree with the part about the salary. Although I think teachers deserve more money, I think the low pay show that the people who decide to become teachers really want to be there. They are passionate about what they do and the really like teaching.
