Why are you interested in working in the Education field?
When I study abroad in an American high school as an international student, I was super struck by the differences of the two education systems.

Hey there! It's truly wonderful that you want to pursue a teaching career, as it can be such a fulfilling and inspiring profession. One of the most exciting aspects of teaching is being able to witness a student's "aha!" moment when they grasp a new concept, thanks to your guidance. It's incredibly rewarding to see their progress and growth.
Moreover, the camaraderie you create amongst fellow teachers is genuinely remarkable, fostering an environment where everyone openly shares their knowledge and resources to benefit the students. This collaborative spirit truly highlights the best of the teaching community.
Additionally, the valuable skill of understanding how people learn and communicate can be applied to many aspects of life, making your teaching experience even more enriching. By sharing your passion for a subject with eager young minds, you can spark a lifelong love for learning in your students, making your role all the more meaningful and worthwhile.
Suggest looking into a work-study or teacher aide program through your school or local institution of higher learning. Apart from that, some daycares/children centers are a great place to learn more.

To elaborate further, my decision to choose a career in education was primarily driven by my personal experiences as a student. While I did have some positive moments, there were instances where my overall experience could have been significantly improved. One of the contributing factors to this was the presence of individuals who were more focused on their paychecks rather than genuinely caring about the growth and well-being of their students.
As someone who is passionate about education and the concept of learning as a means to empower individuals, I felt compelled to enter a field where I could make a difference. My love for learning and my commitment to promoting education for everyone made me realize that pursuing a career in education was the most logical and meaningful step for me.
Moreover, my experiences inspired me to not only seek a role in the education sector, but also to strive to provide students with a more enriching and supportive environment than the one I encountered. By focusing on making a positive impact in the lives of my students, it has become my mission to ensure that they receive the education and guidance they need to succeed in their endeavors.
My dedication to this field has been unwavering, and I'm proud to say that I am currently pursuing my goals and making a difference in the lives of students. By working daily to improve their educational experiences, I feel a deep sense of accomplishment and know that I am contributing towards shaping a better future for them.
