I had a dream that I became a teacher for the school I have been going to since kindergarten, and will until 12 grade. I was hired by a new principal, and some new teachers were there, but so were some of my teachers from right now. I was grown up - in my twenties I think - and I was in high heels (spider) and a nice skirt suit. It made me wonder if I should really consider being a teacher, because many people tell me I should. Or was my mind just thinking what would happen if.... Thanks!

Hi Ashleigh -

I think you ought to consider teaching! Helping others learn doesn’t come naturally to everyone and it sounds like you’ve already got a talent for it. Why don’t you talk to one of your favorite teachers and see if they can tell you more about what they do - and what they like about it? You also might be able to find some tutoring opportunities for other students in subjects you like. Ask at your guidance counselor’s office for information about careers in teaching - and let us know what you find!
