It's around 11 and I'm up in the old office at the Cox's where Phillip, Kara, Sean, and Britt have school.
I was reading some reviews for "Freedom Writers" a movie I saw last weekend with Kristen, Kara, Mara, and Savannah.
I liked the movie a lot mostly because since I was in 5th grade, after having my favorite teacher, Mrs. Korneggy, I've been leading towards teacher as a huge career possibility.
I had always thought that teachers didn't like what they did but just did it to have a job and to torture kids. However, Mrs. Korneggy had always inspired me.
I'm not sure if she even knows or remembers me, but she was such a great influence on my life.
I mean what teacher spends their own money on her students just so they can have doughnuts? A good one.
She taught the accelerated math class and I had her for homeroom.
I vividly remember tow things about her.
1. She always told us about how good fresh Krispey Kreme doughnuts were, and tried to share the experience with us(via microwave).
2. Her vocab. word notebook. I remember we got a new vocab word every day and she would get pictures and put together a page with vocabulary words, definitions, example sentences, and pictures representing the word.
She was one of those teachers who were fiends with the student and not enemies.
I've actually had a few teachers like this, but none as great as Mrs. Korneggy.
I saw her a few years ago, I think it was 2, at a friends' 5th grade graduation. I said hi and she said hi, looked excited, and hugged me. However, she didn't look as if she remembered me.
Now I hear the kids on the bus talk about her as if she's their hero.
I want to be a teacher like that.
I want to inspire kids and change their lives.
Although, I've heard I'd be better at other things.
Leave me a comment and give your opinions on me being a teacher.
I know, I know, I shouldn't choose a career based on what other people would like me doing. I should choose what I like to do and go for it.
On the contrary, I always ask other people to help me out on big decisions and stuff. Plus I'm only a freshman. I have tons of time to think.
Right?

right. you don't have to decide now, but it's good to be thinking...and other people's opinions are good to have, just to think about...
i personally think you'd make a great teacher. you're the kind of person kids would like; you're very nice...you're a likable person in general...and you really seem to like kids...so yes...i think that definitely fits your personality.
that's my opinion...woot
lol
Yes, you would be a great teacher AND a writer. In fact, if you keep writing and produce a best-selling novel by the time you're 18-19 (like the guy who wrote Eragon), you could teach and not worry about the money! :)
