What brought me to teaching
how do I see myself in the work I do?
what are my blind spots"?

 I don't know what brought me to teaching, I don't have anyone who inspired me or anything. I just know that I want to teach and make a difference in someone's life, and Education seems the only tool to which I can influence people. But I know why I want to teach Language Art specifically! I want students to love reading and writing like I do. I want to change the teaching method we use now in schools, where students can only read certain books, plays, poems in school. I believe that we all enjoy different books, and students don't enjoy the books they're forced to read, so I want my students to read books they like and share their difference with others. If I had that choice during my high school I would've been finished with Dostoyevsky's novels, and Chekhov's plays.

   
 I see myself doing something that I love. I'm so passionate when it comes to teaching so I would see myself inspiring my students to always read more, because we only have one life, we need books to experience many different lives. I see myself teaching my students the original themes, an messages behind every piece of writing.

 I'm not patient and this will be one of my major blind spots. I literally can't repeat something that I've explained more then twice. I know that this will be harsh to my students, but I'm hoping to have students that won't need third explanations.
