I want to become a teacher because I want to be apart of making fun core memories with them along with shaping them into well rounded people by the end of the year. Teaching elementary isn't just teaching them the foundation of writing, math, reading, etc., it's also teaching them manners, what's right from wrong, creating a bond with the parent, and molding them with morals!
