Teaching is important

Teaching is important to me because it is not a job it is a profession that has so many facets to it. The ability to present content in a way that demonstrates its importance and hone life skills all at the same time is why I teach. I teach because I am the product of public school education, I had amazing teachers and still can remember how much fun learning in class can be; how those conversations and lessons remained with me until adulthood. If I could make the same kind of impact daily I could not pass up teaching. I teach because I have a general lust for knowledge and want to push students the way I was pushed, and demonstrate that success looks different for all of us but given the realities of the society in which we live, I wanted to be a part of a profession that teaches students and families how to raise the bar, and how to meet personal, professional, social and academic goals.
I wanted to be a part of an educational centrifuge of change and that’s why I chose to work here. I decided to teach at a KIPP school because they embrace and support creativity, understand that educators are not prototypes and that true education cannot begin until we understand the students that we serve (culturally, community wise, academically, socially, etc). I wanted to be a part of a movement bigger than myself; I knew that I would be challenged, the work would not be easy and that I would truly learn.
