* Teachers get incredible joy in seeing the difference they make as students gain new insights, become more interested in a subject & learn about themselves. Every day, teachers mold the future through impacting their students views & understandings. Teachers foster creativity, develop character, give students lenses with which to view the world and provide students with the skills they need to reach their potential & lead productive lives.
* Many individuals are attracted to teaching by a sense of service, because they want to make a clear, tangible difference in the lives of others. As a teacher, you see the fruits of your efforts everyday as you use your intelligence & creativity to help students become excited & learn about new things.
* Teachers often struggle with the challenges of school budget cuts, large classroom sizes, increasingly demanding curriculum requirements & lack of parental involvement. School district financial woes may equate to pay cuts, layoffs & a reduction of job benefits, such as healthcare & retirement, for many teachers.
