Highschool History Teacher
The Importance of History
History teaches us what happened in the past, it molds our future. History has changed or has had a role in someone life. I would like to teach high school history because high school students are ore mature about learning than middle school students, they process more and I would like to pass on what I've learned to them. History is not a well liked class but if taught right it could of the best, History interests me in so many ways. I have a social personality so teaching would come really easily to me. I could see myself talking to 150 kids or more for the rest of my life. It's not about the money, I want to go to a job I enjoy, not a job I dread going to.
