My mom influenced me to be a teacher. Growing up, she would always tell me that I should be a teacher because of the hours that teachers had. In high school, I took an Orientation to Teaching class and I learned that was what I wanted to do. I always loved going around and helping students with their homework or whatever they needed help on.

My ESL teacher was my first influence to become an educator. She was so passionate about teaching and helping kids whose English was their second language and I have always like to help others. Then I decided that I wanted to help kids, just like she does. Then before coming to college I accidently found this TED talk video that definitely made me wanting to be an educator even more.

My parents both influenced me to be teachers. My mom is a first grade teacher and my dad is an eighth grade Arkansas history teacher. They both adore what they do and I also really took for granted how they had holiday's off with us growing up because we really got a lot of family time with them both being teachers. That's why I want to be able to do the same for my future family. Attached is a photo of us on vacation. Ever since I was 2 my parents have taken us on 2 week long camping trips across the country every summer due to them having summer vacations being teachers.

The person that has influenced me to be a teacher is my grandma. She was always there for no matter what and raised me even though she did not have to. She always wanted to be a teacher but was never able to. I enjoying teaching so i feel like this is me honoring her .
