Thanks Silke for this nice topic.
Teachine was my dream since I was a child.
I used to play as a teacher and and ask my friends to be sts. I was extremely happy when we played. And Now I am very very happy to be teacher.
In addition, I like teaching because I can deal with different characters and different personalities. I think dealing with different attitudes is fun , pleasure and art.
I like my job and my students very much.
Best Regards,
Noor

Hi, this is a really interesting topics. Actually I became a teacher because of my mother. I really didn �t want to, but when I was in college (I �m a Chemical Engineering) I had 4 classes one semester and my mother thought I had a looot of free time (I actually thought I didn �t, since I spent all of it with my boyfriend--- soon to be my housband) So, she signed me into this Teacher �s training course and I attended otherwise my mother was going to take my car back. So, I finished the course but I actually wasn �t looking for a job as teacher. Someone called, offered me a job at noon and I said yes. Since then (7 years ago) I love being a teacher. Right now I �m studying my Master in Metallurgic and Material Engineering but I keep teaching english and actually I don �t plan to quit. I love it and it �s the best thing that could ever happen to me.

Well, good topic, indeed.Thanks Lady.
When I was a teenager my school life got upside down. I was a very good student, but what I really loved was Maths, Science, Biology, Geography. I was also good at Portuguese, but not that good with foreign languages - French and then English. My French teacher was a lovely lady and she helped me a lot and cheered me, but my English teacher turned to be my evil in school. She didn �t like me, though I sincerely don �t have the slightest idea why.
If we had very high marks we didn �t need to go to the final examinations - well, this was not common, but I was one of them; but we couldn �t have a negative mark, in any of the subjects and the general average had to be, at least, 16. Well, that witch gave me a 9 and forced me to have final examinations of everything. I was furious and told her that one day I would be an English teacher and I would be much better than her. She laughed a lot, but here I am.
Sometimes I regret, teaching is not a very considered job, mainly nowadays and I know I could have anything else I wanted if I had followed a different way.
But when I think of my kids I know I made the right choice.
Unfortunately I never saw that witch again, so I could tell her that I turned to be her colleague. LOL

Thanks for the great topic!
When I saw my first teacher, I knew I wanted to be one. She was so beautiful,so clever, so kind; I didn �t regard her as a real person, she was like a goddess to me. Later I was also lucky to have good and caring teachers so my childhood decision never faded. There were very few teachers who frightened me and I promised to myself that none of my pupils would be afraid of me. I think I keep my promise. Why English? I hated Maths.
At the time I didn �t think about money, it was very poor. We had no teaching aids, no English books, we couldn �t go abroad. English teachers weren �t in demand.But somehow we survived and I �ve never regretted my decision. I like teaching, though it is underpaid, (now I do care about money)and very stressful but English is the greatest treasure of my life.
