Hi!

How are you all going?

I have been inspired lately to continue with education; and I was wondering why others are interested in being involved in this profession?

Check out Ron Clark: http://www.ronclark.info/About_Ron_Clark/

A fantastic role model to base an education career on.

I would appreciated anyone else's opinions and idols as well.

Hey Tails;

Thats cool :)

I like your thinking. It's a great opportunity that I think more teachers should take to really help their students to make a difference in the world and the same that teachers should inspire the students to feel valued and how they can be valuable in society.

Fantastic! Haha; it's going to take me at least 5 more years to get there, but I'm on my way :) 

Haha, I think that it's good having that time; I think that we can build skills and learn things that can improve our abilities and efforts and you will be wiser after having a few more years experience in anything. I've found that with community services, many talents become useful and I think it will be similar with teaching!

I am so with you greenscene.
And while I'm not looking at going into the education profession, I am a huge believer in the power of education, both formal and informal. I don't think you need a teaching degree to educate someone, you just need to know your stuff.

Some of my teachers have been amazingly inspirational, but I still find my most inspiring people come from someone in this aid/development sort of field... their passion for going out and telling people about issues and their stories inspires me more than anythings =)

Hey Ryan,

Thats very nice of you. Personally, I would look at our own country and see how education in the rural areas could change the lives of many here and go for that; but education will be appreciated where ever you decide [with your millions of dollars to begin a school!
