This video is interesting because it shows the insight of three teachers and what they believe makes a teacher great. They begin by listing qualities such as confidence and empathy. This connects to how I feel teachers should be because they need to be understanding of all the students that walk into their class. Also, they need to be confident enough to lead the class and exemplify that they have knowledge of what they are doing so that they can be in control.

Research out of the US indicates there are characteristics that can predict whether a teacher will be a great teacher before they even get in the classroom. And that's important when other studies show the teacher is one of the most crucial factors in your child's school success.

According to journalist Dan Rather, "The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'." This quote means a lot to me in that it is exactly what I believe and have seen in teachers. As long as they do not give up hope for their students, then they will be inspired to do  great things and remember the teacher as the person who pushed them to believe in themselves.

During my junior year of high school, I volunteered with an organization in my hometown, Azusa, to go to Los Angeles in order to organize food for the homeless. Not only was my job to organize different types of food but it was also to watch over and guide the younger volunteers that had come along. It was difficult at times to get them to listen to me and the were a hand full but how complicated it was didn't stop me from doing what I knew I had to do.

Why I Want to be a Teacher
I am interested in becoming a teacher so that I can be follow in the footsteps of the teachers who have impacted my life. It would be a life-changing experience for me to have the opportunity to positively change the lives of future students. From my perspective, I have noticed so many students who have a negative connotation when they think of school and most times it sadly is because of teachers, so I would like to be the change that helps children to be excited to be in a learning environment.

The Purpose of a Teacher
I am a firm believer in the idea that if you impact the life of one person, you will set off a chain reaction thus sending in changing the world. To me, this is possible through the career of teaching. Teachers may not always be able to change all their students for the better, while it is a goal, as long as they change one student then they are doing their job and affecting the future already.

What Defines a Teacher in my Opinion
A teacher to me is someone who guides students and shows them their true potential. Teachers are supposed to challenge their students and motivate them in ways that nobody else ever will.
