Why have you come into edcuation?

It started back in my early days in high school, around year 7 or 8 in my social studies class. My social studies teacher was the start of my introduction into teaching. He was cool. He was the one that first inspired me to come into teaching, just not high school. Only because I remember what I was like. The education profession took a back burner when my high school had a careers night, which changed where I wanted to go.

When I left law school, I got a job at the school I attended in primary. I stayed there for a year and a half, which further pushed me into getting my teaching degree. While I was a teacher aide, I wanted to become someone who would inspire many children to be good learners, whether it was in sports or academics. For most of the time I was working as a teacher aide, I was told consistently to stop wasting my time as a teacher aide and move on to get my teaching degree. Being told that on constant basis, showed me that I was noticed a lot more than I thought. So I made the decision to go back to school and get my degree in teaching and came to Te Wananga o Aotearoa
