Why do I want to be a teacher?

Throught my life I have always wanted to be here for a purpose but I never knew what that purpose was for a long time. Going through High School I taught swim lessons and 1st grade Sunday School. Realizing that I have a nack for teaching kids and enjoy doing it, I thought I wanted to be an elementary teacher. Going into college I was a little unsure so I stuck to my generals. I teach swim lessons at the YMCA here in St. Cloud and after teaching a family of adopted kids all with special needs in one family, for about a year I grew to realize that I have the patience and really enjoy working with special needs kids. This is when I choose my major as a Special Ed teacher. I still teach those amazing kids in swim lessons and still have no doubt in my mind that this is the area in which I will be able to have a purpose helping out others and enjoying my time with it aswell.
