A teacher is a person who teaches or instructs. There are many different types of teachers, from early childhood teachers to high school teachers and everything in between. Teaching is one of the most rewarding professions out there. Teachers have to be caring and enthusiastic and ready for anything that might happen in the classroom. They must always put the child first and never be selfish. All teachers have to be patient; children are very needy so the teacher has to cater to all of the child’s needs.

When I was a young child, I would always go down to my basement and teach lessons to my stuffed animals. I always loved kids and wanted to help them become successful.

Before coming to Coastal, I was never sure on the occupation that would fit me best. I was either thinking about becoming an elementary school teacher or a nurse.

In school I had a lot of teachers, but I think that the teacher that influenced me the most would probably be my senior year English teacher, Mrs. Ng. She did not really inspire me to become a teacher or anything. I knew before being in her class that I wanted to be an early elementary teacher. She was just showed me what kind of teacher that I want to be. She was a woman with a great personality, she was very honest and I liked that about her. She was always so excited to see us, and she never yelled. She was always involved in our lives and cared about giving us the education that we needed to graduate high school and be successful in life. The teaching influences in my life made it clear that I want to do it for the rest of my
