I want to be a high school history teacher mostly because of Mr. Willoughby. I had his class twice in high school and were easily some of the most memorable classes in my high school career. If I could make my students learn just a portion of what he taught us while having just some of the fun that we had, I would consider myself an alright teacher. I would like to teach in my alma mater if it all possible mostly for not having to learn a new school system but besides that I would like to teach somewhere where it snows and is not too urban. This is because i'm selfish and want to go skiing in the winter and do not want to deal with urban kids. I would choose high school because I would like to have adult conversations with my students about history, the worlds, and their futures. Being an unofficial big brother to a lot of friends siblings, I experienced a great joy from seeing them do good in school and move on to college to being adults.
