Week - 1 Why I want to teach?

I never thought I would want to be a teacher.  I was dead set on running my own business and did not want to hear anything else.  Well after 16 years after graduating with my business degree, I am not any closer then I was right out of high school of running my business.  In the meantime, I started substitute teaching and I slowly realized that I enjoyed being in the classroom.  However as much as I enjoyed being in a classroom, I was hesitant and completing what I needed to do and become a fulltime teacher.  There were a few factors that made me start changing my mind.  The first was my dad and his passing.  He always thought I would have been a great teacher.  My mom told me after he passed, he thought I would have already have been a principal in a school after teaching for a few years and coaching.  So, when he passed, I realized that maybe I have not lived up to the potential that he saw in me and that is when I started looking into going back to school.  It has taken me a few years and a couple roadblocks to get here, but I am here.  The next factor is I got engaged a couple years ago and I realized to provide for my fiancée and a possible family in the future I would need a better career then what I have now.  The last is I have been in a school recently were the students are in some business classes, but are not learning anything and they need to learn more.
