- While it is a weighty responsibility, I teach because I want to inspire and push others to achieve through learning. I believe teaching is a calling or gifting, not just a job. Teachers play a key part in guiding the next generation in this world. While academic subject matter is often the main focus, teachers also help mold students’ behavior, emotional well-being, and their understanding of right and wrong. Teaching allows me to leave a legacy that helps children face whatever future challenges may be thrown at them.
