Why did you become a Teacher/Administrator/Counselor?

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a teacher. I used to make my younger siblings “play school with me” when we were little. I would pretend to be the teacher and make-up silly worksheets and activities for them to do. When I got to high school I decided to be a history teacher. For me history was the most interesting. I enjoyed learning about stuff in the past and discussing different ways of looking at important world changing events. People don’t always realize how much of our past impacts the present day and our future.
