Perhaps the best inspiration for my career path is the teachers I had growing up. From them I have been able to see which parts of their teaching I want to recreate and avoid. Through them I see the impact my teachers had on me, and thus the impact I could leave on future students. Empathy, patience, and connection are all aspects I appreciated in my teachers as a student.

I have always wanted to become a teacher. One of my earliest inspirations for this career path has been Miss Honey from the movie Matilda. Although I have gotten older, Miss Honey's patience, ability to engage with children, and value of learning are all still skills I value. This movie also demonstrates the importance of empathy in teaching, because what an adult may brush off can stick with a child forever.
