My Anecdote

My third and fourth grade teachers were the inspiration I have to become an elementary school teacher. They made class fun and worth being there. In elementary school I loved going to school because my teachers were like my mother, they seemed to love their job and have a true passion for it. My fourth grade teacher, Ms. Basile really inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. She actually gave me teacher's edition books because in my spare time when I was younger, I used to play school with my younger brother and cousin. They were my students and I was always the teacher. My playroom was actually set up as a classroom. I had everything- from the chalkboard and whiteboard, to student desks and a teachers desk. It was just something I loved to do and that is why today I really want to be a REAL teacher!
