Why a teacher?

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to play Major League Baseball. Growing up, I saw myself doing nothing else. My life was dedicated to sports. In my senior year of high school I had the opportunity to take a class called Careers in Education. As a part of the course requirement I spent the last hour of every school day in a middle school classroom. It was in this classroom that my desire to teach would truly begin. More on this later.
