Teachers - Why did you choose to become a teacher? And do you still feel that way now?

I am a sunday teacher in my local parish but not a quafied teacher because I'm only 16. But, I would like to be a teacher in the future because teaching has made my life even more enjoyable around kids and my work experience has increased my thoughts for this future goal.

Basically, I became a teacher because, at the time, they were giving away teachers' scholarships, and that was the only way I could go through University.
However, that being the case, I enjoy teaching. I no longer do so in the state system, but have taught Sunday School and Scripture in Schools. I have also taught Saturday School Italian, and done private tutoring in Indonesian and Balinese.

I chose to become a teacher because I like variety and am interested in everything. I wasn't that bothered about money (I don't know what to do with what I've got) ... but I do like being able to talk to students about whatever I like...from art to zoology, from breadmaking to yodelling. I'm sure accountancy, or deep sea diving isn't as varied.

i am now working as a lecturer. i have a great passion for serving as a teacher as i have got genuine role models with constructive values. during my BEd,MEd, Mphil i have got great role model Dr.Mrs Kiruba Charles, former principal of LWIASE who was inspiring me a lot in research work with psychological principles. today iam following her principles with enthusiam and curiosity.
