I’ve switched to teaching after exploring other careers, and it feels right. Teaching is about helping kids learn and grow, not just following a curriculum.

.

Each student has their own background and skills. Some learn best with visuals, while others prefer hands-on activities, so I’m exploring different teaching methods. It’s rewarding to help a struggling student!

.

I’ve quickly learned that students open up when they feel comfortable. They participate more, ask questions, and aren’t afraid to make mistakes. I regularly ask for their honest feedback—sometimes brutal, but always helpful—and adjust my lessons accordingly.

.

While academics are important, I also want to help students gain practical life skills. My classroom focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. I ensure that everyone understands mistakes are a natural part of learning, not something to be ashamed of.

Being new to teaching means I’m always learning. I’m taking courses, watching experienced teachers, and thinking about what works and what doesn’t in my classroom. I’m thankful for mentors who share their wisdom.

This career change has revealed what is important in my work life. I am dedicated to helping each student, encouraging their curiosity, and boosting their confidence. Ultimately, their progress is what makes this path rewarding.
