Ever since seventh grade, I have always wanted to be a math teacher. My seventh grade math teacher, inspired me to be like her. Before I took her class, I was not good at math. In third grade, I barely passed math with a D, and I had to go to summer school, but that didn't do much for me. My teacher made math seem very fun and interesting. Her metaphors and examples, also, made math easier to understand and follow. When I finished taking her class in seventh grade, I felt smart and confident. The feelings that I felt were so wonderful that I felt I needed to pass it on. I want to teach/tutor math because I want my future students to feel what my teacher made me feel; confidence. Students need to be more confident in math, but in order to make them feel that way, you have to teach using fun learning strategies. I want to create more interactive exercises that make math even more fun and easy to understand. My goal in life is to make children more confident in their mathematics.
