Defining point in Education

All my life I have known that I wanted to be a teacher. What I wanted to teach was the million dollar question. In high school I decided to take cadet teaching to help me determine the appropriate  grade level I wanted to teach. My junior year I student taught for a freshman and sophomore biology class. I quickly came to discover that I could not deal with older kids. My senior year I student taught for a third class at my former elementary school. After the third week I realized that I wanted to teach younger children. My heart and passion for children are at a higher level then for older students. I thought younger children cried a lot and were brats. I soon learned that I loved to be around the crying children. If I would not have student taught for a third grade class I would have never decided to major in elementary education.  Due to that one day in high school I am now on the path to becoming a elementary teacher whom is passionate about children.
