Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

          As a teacher, every day is a new day, you never get bored. When you enter your classroom you have no idea what is going to happen. One minute you can have a parent yelling at you, and the next you can find out that your whole class passed their exam with flying colors. There is always something going on, from lesson plans to field trips, to planning holiday parties and holding teacher conferences.

          Teaching allows you to express yourself. You can be silly and do things that you would never do in front of other adults. Your classroom is your domain, a place where you are free to show off your personality and craft and create anything that you wish. Now how many jobs allow you to do that?

          A lot of graduate students like the idea of a teaching profession because most of the time teachers only work about 180 school days a year (notice I said “school days” because we all know we work a lot more than that). Teaching is a very stressful and demanding job, but it also allows for time off over the holidays. This “time” gives you a great opportunity to travel, have fun with friends, and spend time with your family. One of the best reasons to love your job is that it gives you the time off that you deserve.

          Unlike most careers, a teaching career has the opportunity to inspire students, not only academically but personally as well. If you think back to when you were a child, I'm sure you can recall at least one teacher that really stood out and made a difference in your life. Teaching is touching the lives of your students, making connections that will last a lifetime, and providing them with inspiration that will take them places in their lives.

          When you are passionate and compassionate for something that you love, it will shine through. When you love what you do, not only will you make a difference in your students' lives, but you will make a difference in your own as well.
