Awww Maz that was a great read. I loved this line... and i hate children but i wouldnât hate seeing them learn something this amazing; in fact i think iâd probably love it. I think you descibed many many teachers there... including myself. I think it helps having a healthy hatred of children..... stops you being too soft. Ok..... serious now. I think you've made an excellent decision! I know I don't know you in "real life" but I can't imagine anyone more suited to what you are suggesting. I sat in on some of those type of talks last year....... they alway made me want to run off and do it too. You're going to be fab!!!
Hahha, I'm glad that a lot of teachers feel like that, that makes me feel a bit more okay about my dislike of children
And I'm so pleased that you think it's a good thing.
I've always had it in my head that teaching would be something I would do. When I was younger I was always just like "Well...I could become a photographer/tv presenter/office worker etc. but I'll probably just become a teacher" and I thought everyone else thought the same, but apparently not. When I was younger it was just so that I could have 'a desk', but now that I'm older I've realised it's just because I love the idea of sharing what I know and yeah, I am so excited to do this. I'm going to ask around in my college this week for potential jobs next year and then I'll have something definite for when I finish sixth form.
I am realllly glad that this talk happened though, because it was getting to the point where I was just going to choose any old uni for the sake of going to one and I would have made a shit personal statement and just ended up miserable and unfulfilled and in a lot of debt rather than actually happy.
