The are so many reasons that I could list as to why I want to become an educator. I believe the classroom can truly be a home away from home for students. Students deserve to feel safe, they are on campus more than they are at home during the year, so it is important that they feel comfortable when at school. I believe that each student deserves to be heard and should have an open ear to talk to when they need to get things off of their chest or simply converse with someone about something they may be excited about. The second you build a relationship with a student, they know they can be themselves around you, which in turn helps them learn from you. 

I truly want to be able to make a difference for each one of my students. The single thing that has pushed me down this education path is simple: MAKING A DIFFERENCE! Educators may not be always able to understand or even be aware of what their students are going through, but it is important to be able to listen without judgment and be there for them when no one else is.
