1. It really is the most rewarding careers you could ever imagine.

2. They really enjoyed school & had a good experience themselves & want to continue allowing children to feel that way too–or– they had a horrible experience in school & want it to change that so no other child has to feel the way they did.

3. You can make a difference, & you can help your students make a difference too.

4. You never know what the day is going to bring.

5. Teaching is fun & gives you many opportunities to be creative.

6. “The Click.” The moment where you see a child understand something they were struggling with just seconds ago. 

7. Teaching is an intellectual challenge. 

8. The work environment is never dull.  

9. The energy & excitement of all your students will rub off on you.

10. Seeing your students succeed.
