My Path to Teaching

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I decided to become a teacher.  I do not come from a family of teachers.  When I was a child, I told everyone I was going to be a scientist. Even in college I was on a path to be a pharmacist or psychiatrist.  Then I had my “ah-ha” moment.  While in college I worked as a “Mad Scientist”, delivering high interest science instruction to children after school. I loved it.  I also interned at a pharmacy.  I did not love it.  I decided I wanted to love what I do. That is why I become a teacher.
