talking whit my secundary teacher about what made he dicede become a teacher, he said me:
HENRRY BLANDÓN
For me, it was because it was something I was good at and knew I would enjoy. I have the ability to understand a lot of material and explain it to others, and I have always enjoyed interacting with young people.
I started out to be a college professor, but I found out that what I really enjoyed was being in a classroom interacting with students. In Bogota, at least, college professors have to write articles for scholarly journals and/or books. I found that I did not enjoy that but that I did enjoy trying to help young people understand subjects that I enjoyed.
That is why I switched over and became a high school teacher after I got my doctorate. One of the joys of being a teacher is getting to interact with young people. If you are lucky, you get to become part of the lives of some pretty special people and that is a privilege that teachers enjoy much more than people in most other walks of life.
Is like you
