Why Education? The better question is why not.

    Why do I want to be a teacher? The answer is really quite simple. I want to help children "see the world not as it is, but as it could be if only you believe in courage and kindness and occasionally just a little bit of magic" (Cinderella, 2015). Now perhaps this sounds a tad cliche, but the purity of the statement is better put than I could have ever hoped to do myself. Education is the best way for children to have a profound impact on this world. My hope as a teacher is to instill such a foundation of knowledge, courage, and kindness in my students that they have the opportunity to change the world more than I ever will or could.
