Important To Me

While on the path of becoming an educator I started to realize there are certain things I feel is important while doing this profession. As a future educator I believe that there should never be anything more important than becoming a guiding light for your students. I believe that a teacher's job is not just to teach the kids information right out of textbooks but to provide them with moral lessons that they can carry on to the future.  While growing up i realized this while watching movies like "Lean on Me".

In that movie you see that Morgan Freeman's character takes the heavy burden of instilling life lessons into the youths in his school. Motivated by this movie at a young age i dedicated my self to becoming the kind of teacher that can give my students all the knowledge they need in order to succeed in life instead of teaching students that will be "book smart"  and nothing more. While holding on to this moral I hope to become a guiding light for future generations to follow and become a change I wish to see in the near future. Also it would be pretty awesome to be the type of teacher Mr. Keating was Dead Poets.
