Day Number Eight: 12th Grade Service Project

I now feel fairly confident that I would be a pretty competent third grade teacher. Thankfully, I am also now aware that I would not want to be a teacher. There are many reasons for this that I have just now begun to pick up upon. One is the fact that I do not have enough patience to deal with the slowness among students in learning things that I already know. This also goes along with my distaste for boredom. I know that an excellent teacher would be able to overcome the everpresent boredom by teaching in a manner exciting enough to educate and stimulate the students minds and at the same time learn new things for himself. All of these reasons are strong enough for me.
