Why I want to be a teacher

Ever since I was a preteen I have loved working with kids. When I was twelve I ran my own childcare program for a week because there was no one else who was willing to do it. One morning as my mom and I were driving supplies over we got to talking about how teachers are always needed in mission schools (such as the boarding school I would later attend).
I experienced a world where there were 42 students to every one teacher. I don't want to see students go through that. I also believe that teachers need to be assessable for their students and if I end up teaching overseas then I have a better connection with the students because I know what it is like to go through the same things as them.
