Hello everyone my name is Nicholas Saucedo. We all become teachers because of similar reasons or experiences, weather it be wanting to change the system or make a difference in a childs life. Though some of us also become teachers for different reasons as well, like me. I didnt want to become a teacher at first, it never really came across my mind as a career I wanted. No other major really stuck out to me or was intresting to me to pursue it, but after some thought I landed on just sticking with teaching. From being a pre-service teacher now I would defenitly tell past me that I defenitly made the right decision. Being in the program has really opened up my mind and showed me the wonders of being a teacher. I wonder if any of you have had a similar experience as me, if any of you would like to share your experiences or the reasoning behind what made you want to be a teacher.

hello Nicholas. I always wanted to become a teacher. However, there were times I wanted to quit and change my major because I felt like teachers weren't being supported enough. I am still struggling to understand how some schools, districts, and states support heir teachers. I am currently looking for a job in my school district and I am trying really hard to find the right schoool. I think your work environment really contributes how happy you will be as a teacher. 

I think it is great that, even though you didn't want to become a teacher at the beginning, you stuck it through and are happy with your choice.

Good luck.
