This image may sum up perfectly one of the main reasons I want to become a teacher!! One of my biggest fears is to end up in a cubicle where ‘creativity’ is expected, yet rarely rewarded. My past experiences with certain jobs is that creativity is never truly wanted or appreciated, rather, those who conform to company rules and expectations are highly valued. However, this is not the case with teachers. The success of our careers largely depends on our ability to think outside of the box; as our students come in all shapes and sizes, rarely does the square peg fit in the round hole. Never will I be placed in the solitary confinement of a cubicle; I will be free to interact and engage those around me in the pursuit of self discovery and expression 🙂
