Ed for Equity #1
While reading this chapter, I realized that when someone asks me why I want to teach I usually say because I love children. But now I think about it and there are so many other things that come to mind. I want to give children a chance to do their best in life, and give them a chance to learn. Growing up I did the minimum and I regret it now that I am in college. I do also believe that some of my teachers taught the minimum. I want to teach the max and be able to make an impact. My family has influenced me in one great way to become a teacher and that is that they encouraged me and told me all the time that I would be an excellent teacher.

I agree that love is important, but teaching is so much more than relying on that alone. There is a lot more to it! If you want to have that important impact on your students' lives, then sensitivity to who they are and what it might take to help them be successful is critical.
