7I: The Teacher

                I have wanted to be a teacher forever. When I was younger I would play teacher with my best friend, Shaina and my little sister, Melissa. I always was in charge. I had to be the teacher. I would make little assignments and give out homework that they had to do before we played school next time.

                When the idea of college came up when I got into high school, there was nothing more I wanted to be. So naturally, you may guess, my major is Elementary Ed.

                This week I had to attend a meeting for people who will apply to the teaching program. Listening to it, there were a lot of requirements I didn’t know about. I have to keep a GPA above 2.7, I have to pass curtain exams and pass the application selection process. This all seems like a lot in my head and there is a part of me that is scared, but I know if I strive I will eventually get what I want and become what I’ve always wanted to be.
