Why did you choose to become a teacher?
I worked as a school secretary for two years and really enjoyed being around the children. I took a job as a paraprofessional so I could be around the kids more often, and did that for ten years. When my youngest child got his driver’s license I decided that my family was independent enough for me to go to college (for the first time!), thus, my career as a teacher began.
