I think teachers play a very important role in a childs life.  We as teachers are ere to educate students and help them grow intecutally.  I feel being a teacher takes a flexable, patient, and providing person.  As a teacher you have to be able to put lesson plans together spir of the moment when things go wrong.  You have to be patient and make sure all students are at the same learning level.  As a teacher you have to be able to explain to the one child that might not understnd an example you went over many times.  Patientenceness plays a big role in the teaching field.  As a teahcer you have  to provide the opportunity for children to learn what needs to be taught.  You have to give them the opportunity to creatively think for themselves and find out what instrest them the most.  As a teacher you get the joy of seeing you student excited when they finally understand what was stumping them for so long.  Being a teacher means giving your all to your students, helping them learn, and educating the young people of the world.  As a teacher your willingness and hard work will pay off when you touch a student and they remember you for the rest of their lives.  Teaching means commiting yourself 100% to the studnets knowledge and mentally developing their brains.
