Why I Want to be a Teacher I believe that everyone‚ one way or another‚ has progressed to where they are in life because they had a teacher. A teacher by definition is someone who provides educational instruction and communicates lifelong lessons. However‚ I see teachers beyond that common definition. Teachers have the opportunity to shed light on topics not commonly found in text books‚ to teach skills that students can use in real life‚ and to inspire students to overcome their adversities. But

The night we went to find Ponyboy and Johnny we just wanted to put them back in their place. We wanted the power restored to our superiority‚ because as typical socs we believed this was our right.

When I was a teenager I really thought that the world revolved around my ability to catch a twirling rifle. This was the thought that haunted me day and night for four years of my life. I would get to school earlier than most so I could practice tossing my rifle before classes started and I would stay later than most in the hopes of being the best with my rifle when compared to the other forty-nine color guard girls.
