Become a Professional / Get a job as a School Teacher

I have worked for the past 10 years doing lots of interesting jobs. Becoming a professional will allow me to be paid more for my skills and expertise and will allow me to use my mind more than my body to be good at my job.

I have always wanted to become a teacher so this goal is well worth pursuing. I want to do what it takes to be the best, or learn how to get the best life long results out of my students.

I think that it is extremely important to keep this goal in mind. I am a product of a broken home and I can understand that it takes work to maintain a happy household. I want to provide a secure future for my family and be a positive role model for my children.
