Take a look at your educational life to date. Specifically what inspired you and why did it inspire you? What inspired me to become a teacher was my experience All these factors
motivated me to leave that job and to concentrate in school to pursue a career. This experience made me open my eyes and see that many other people are in the same situation I was in and settle for jobs with poor working conditions because they need the money in order to pay for their expenses, and have no other choice since they don’t have an education.
