10. ANY QUESTIONS??

11. My Journey to become a Teacher By: Ms. Farish

12. As a kid: I have always wanted to be a teacher. -I like to be organized -I like to see others succeed. -I like to talk It is what I have always know I would do!!!

13. In High School I had a teacher tell me “Teachers don’t make enough money” so I started to rethink what I have always wanted to do….. Then I did some research…. And found out they make a salary that is livable, so I decided to continue my pursuit in becoming a teacher.

14. In College When I graduated High School my dad was in Iraq so I had to get into a college on my own….. Once there the work was hard and I wanted to stop many times BUT I kept thinking of my goal and pushed though.

15. But College was fun too…. I won awards We drew pictures & Eventually I Graduated!!
