To Teach is to Touch the Future
I am afraid that through all of this, learning to be a teacher, I have forgotten why I ever wanted to teach. This paper has forced me to stop and think about why I am doing all of this. It has allowed me to refocus on the prize. What is the prize? It is my desire, which comes from deep within my heart to be a teacher. I do not mean one of those teachers who show up everyday and goes through the motions. I mean one of those teachers who teach! I want to make a difference! I want to be the “guardian of parents’ dreams”! (Axel Ramirez, 2007)
Teaching is an art. Some people are born teachers while others acquire the skill. I have been told that I have a gift and unique power to bring out the potential of the children with whom I work. I want to nurture my students and be the person who lifts them up. I want to show my students the beauty, power, and courage inside each of them, even if they do not always see it in themselves. I want my students to leave my class with more confidence, compassion, and enthusiasm for life and learning than when they entered.
I am passionate in my desire to make a difference and help build a better future! I did not choose teaching to gain monetary reward. Instead, while teaching I hope to gain the best reward ever – the satisfaction that I have had an impact in the education of the leaders of the world and the training of CEOs. I will play a part in shaping the destiny of the future generations, and the leaders of tomorrow.
The power of a teacher is unparalleled. When I think about the importance of the role of a teacher, on one hand I feel overwhelmed; on the other hand, I find myself dying for the chance to "get out there" and teach.

Enjoyed reading your thoughts about teaching. It's really the same in many ways as parenting, trying to help your children/students develop their potential and their dreams which may be different than what their parents want for them. I would love to have your youth and enthusiasm for life. Go for it!
Oh Man!!! Where were you when my kids were in school and we were praying for a teacher like you are planning to be? We needed you!! It's not as common as I used to think to find someone with your fire for shaping and encouraging and tending the souls and spirits of young people.
Hang on tight to your enthusiasm. Know that there will be times it will start to leave you... don't let it. Your dream is going to be the "coming true" of the dreams of many students, and their parents who will be entrusting them to your care.
