1.1+Why+I+became+a+teacher...

Why did you become a teacher? I became a teacher because... I tutored sixth grade students in 1966 who could not read or write. It is now 43 years later and I'm still doing the same thing. I was inspired by my global history teacher, Mary Zini. She made me a life-long student. I couldn't imagine a paying job that is better than teaching because I was naive and had no experience in the world. I became a teacher because I realized that there was no other job with summers off.
