Why I Chose Education

Everyone has Different Reasons…What’s Yours?

As part of the Elevate Teaching movement, we aim to inspire and encourage more individuals to pursue careers in education. One way we do this is by sharing stories of those who have chosen to become teachers, like the one featured on this webpage from North Carolina State University. In the article, we hear from aspiring teachers who share their personal reasons for choosing to pursue a career in education. They talk about their desire to make a difference in the lives of young people, their passion for learning and teaching, and belief in the power of education to create positive change in the world. Reading stories like this can help to demystify the teaching profession and show others the many reasons why it can be such a rewarding and fulfilling career choice. If you're considering a career in education, we encourage you to read this article and be inspired by the passion and dedication of those who have chosen to make a difference in the lives of others through teaching.
