Infinity and Beyond...For a Dream?

When I was a child, this one question came up a lot, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” My answer was always “A teacher ,” but with that answer people fought. “Being a teacher only gives you small pay, that will only fill a small cup!” “Don’t forget the whining students, grading the papers, and lack of sleep!” No support and constant negativity made me give up on my dreams. For a while, the possibility of ever being a teacher was put to the side. But throughout my childhood, something I loved was helping it seems. Caring less that following my dreams could end me up on a rollercoaster ride . Helping, teaching, and saving people are what make me happy . Satisfied, knowing that I made a difference in someone’s life, I definitely get it from my pappy. Teaching one subject in a classroom is not the only way to be a teacher, I know I can pursue my dream in so many ways. There’s so much to do as a teacher, a unique creature. I want to be a teacher, a mentor, a helper, And one who can make a difference in the world. I’m ready to share my knowledge. I’m ready to save someone if they’re drowning in the ocean. I’m ready to teach someone all the languages I know, To close up the communication gap in this world. I’m ready to motivate someone and help him/her gain confidence, Just so they can pursue their dreams too. I’m ready to travel to a third-world country, And provide education to all the kids I could get to. I’m ready, To go beyond a classroom, To go beyond the sky, To go infinity and beyond, To pursue my dream, in the biggest way possible.
