Why I want to Become a Teacher

People always ask me why I want to become a teacher because teachers don't make any money and they get treated bad and this and that, but I'm not doing this to make money, I'm doing it for the kids. Too many kids don't have a positive male role model in their lives, especially young African-American men. I am fortunate enough to have a family that is together and happy and a dad that is there, but I know a lot of people that don't, so I would like to be that positive male role model for those kids that don't have one. I believe that I could make a difference in some young men's lives and that alone makes it all worth it.
