Why teach

When I heard this question, I instantly remembered an anecdote that happen to me while I was working in a Frech school as an Educational Assistant. It was at the time when I was still wondering if I should quit my job and become a teacher...
 It was around January, the kindergarters had now been exposed to French for few months. Some knew French when school started and some didn't. That was the case of this little girl. Cute as a button, everyday she would have story to tell us in English but not many words of French were coming out. One morning, she came to me and explained something that was happening to her in class in a perfect French sentence. I was so happy that I had tears in my eyes! I couldn't believe it!!! I took her to the teacher and asked her to repeat and she did. We were both really emotional at this moment! She never stopped  talking French after that. It was at the time when I was still wondering if I should quit my job and become a teacher. That day, I knew this is what I wanted to become for those special reasons!!!
This is a really rewarding mission to teach a child and see the spark in their eye when they get it! This is magic! Also, as teacher, it is a life long learning curve which I think is really motivating for me. I enjoy learning new things everyday, it is always different that's why it's more interesting. It is interactive and working with children is never boring. I can recall many child's stories told in class that made the teacher and I burst into laugh!!!
