I Want to Be a Teacher

“You want to be a teacher?Don’t be silly.Teachers are poorly paid and they have no power.”My friend was puzzling①when I told her I wanted to be a teacher in the future.I’m not silly and I’ll tell you my reasons.

I’m determined to be a teacher because I have admired teachers very much since I was a little child.They are kind and respectable,like angels.They are learned,helpful and encouraging.I’m determined to be a teacher because teachers can lead us for②success.I’m determined to be a teacher because I can keep young and I can learn,change and grow up with my students.I’m determined to be a teacher because I like the style of teachers—simple but free.The vacations will offer me an opportunity for writing,doing research work and anything I like.

I’ll try my best to be an ideal teacher.Firstly,I’ll study hardly③to increase my knowledge and learn teaching skills.Secondly,I’ll love my students and take proud④in my profession.Thirdly,I’ll trust in them,respect them and understand them.

I believe that teaching is the most honorable job in the world.I’ll take it as my lifelong career.I will never regret my decision.I think my wish will come true.Do you think so?
