I became a teacher because...

I became a teacher ...
for selfish reasons.

How can a teacher be selfish?
As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted my job to have an ever-lasting positive impact on the "receiver's" life. I've wanted it to stay with the person so they can benefit from what I do. And the truth is that much as teaching has its challenges, involves a good deal of frustration sometimes, it also involves a great sense of worthiness, satisfaction and fulfilment.
I like it when I can help others with whatever knowledge I have. I wonder what that says about me.
