My $1,000,000 Job...

If I could do anything and be paid $1,000,000 a year for it I would want to be a teacher.  Ever since I was young, I have always wanted to be a teacher.  The idea of working with kids and teaching them sounds like fun to me.  Whenever I was bored, my sister and I would always go into our basement and we would play school.  Most of the time I would play the role of the teacher and Megan would play the role of the student.  Sometimes Megan was the teacher and I was the student, I hated playing it this way so much!  Although, most of the time when we played school I would be the teacher and Megan would be what we called the "helper" teacher.

When I was in eighth grade, Matt, my brother told me about a club at Roncalli-FEA-Future Educators of America.  He told me about what they did and I was really excited about it.  This year, I joined FEA.  My favorite part about this club, is every few months you get to go to Pinewood, an elementary school, to help out the teachers and sometimes you get a chance to interact with the students.

My Mom used to be a teacher, because of this she had so many posters, activity books, worksheets, ect. left over.  I thought that all of this stuff was the coolest thing in the world.  For Christmas one year, I got a gradebook.  I made up a class list and would use my mom's leftover worksheets and activity books to make assignments and tests.  Then, I would 'grade' all of these assignments and tests and put the grades into the grade book I had.  At school, sometimes at the end of the year the teachers would sell old books for 25 cents, whenever the teachers sold these books I always had to get one or two of them.  After I had gotten these books I would make up my own notes, worksheets, and tests based off of the chapters in these books.  I always had so much fun doing this!

In conclusion, if I could do anything for $1,000,000 I would be a teacher.  This has been my dream ever since I can remeber.
