Why I Became a Teacher

"I always enjoyed math and enjoyed explaining things I understood well to other people. But in college I had a hard time envisioning my adult life starting with a 6 a.m. wake up, so I pursued a math major instead of a math education major. I tried a few different careers after graduation, but I missed doing math. My favorite part of my life was hanging out with the high school youth group kids at my church. I considered changing careers and becoming a youth pastor, but I realized that as a teacher I would get way more time around kids and could use my passion for mathematics as well. It seemed like a perfect fit."
