For awhile while I was working for a little company that was making stuff for space ships and Apache helicopters and junk... I felt like I was really crushing my soul (you can only grind down glass and quartz for 8 hours a day for so long). So I took a long deep introspective look at what I really enjoyed, and I kinda realized that I loved learning, and wanted to continue for as long as I could. I think a love of learning is integral to becoming a good teacher. Like so many other people, I just want to be there for people I guess. When I was growing up, I didn't really have it easy in school (I moved four times in a single school year in sixth grade), but in high school, there were a number of teachers who inspired me.
The only thing that scares me is standing in front of people. It's probably my biggest fear, but I've gotten a ton better at it. It depends on what part of my personality I have behind the steering wheel. Haha.
And yes, I love reading, writing (I've yet to actually share my writing with people though) and all that stuff. lol My ideal situation is to teach and write comics. Ah, bliss.
Again, if my post makes no sense whatsoever... sorry. Haha.
