Chapter 1:Becoming a Teacher

What I found joyful

. The Rewards of Teaching: Nothing would be more gratifying than being a help to the community and others. Also having time for my family will be extremely important to me.

.Making a difference: I want to be the teacher that inspires my students. I want students to look back at me and appreciate what I taught them.

.Teacher shortages: the less competition there is the easier it will be for me to obtain a job. Also there is a slim chance that I could be paid with a slightly larger salary.

What I found not so joyful

. Salaries: Teachers are way underpaid for the work that they have to do. The fact that I would have to move away from my family to increase my salary bugs me.

.Accreditation: This seems to be a very stressful situation in an already stressful environment.I shouldn't have to be accredited if I have to renew my license and take a test every 5 years unless it is apart of obtaining a license.

.New teachers are thrown into harder classes than an experienced teacher. All teachers should have an equal amount of hard and easy classes.
