In middle school, I had the best math teacher I've ever had, and he was deaf... and I felt inspired by him. I knew from then on that I wanted to be a math teacher.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I got my mathematics degree because I wanted to teach deaf children math.
I wanted to be a teacher, but I was a lousy student, one of the slowest readers. It was a tremendous struggle. But I'm lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me.
I always wanted to be a teacher.
I wanted to be a teacher.
I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.
I loved almost everything about being a teacher, but I was an unusual teacher.
I did math in school, obviously. And I loved all my math teachers.
I always thought I would be a teacher. And I think I actually lived up to my initial dreams, because what I do now is teach millions and millions of people many different kinds of things.
I was going to go back to college and become a math teacher.
I had a science teacher in middle school who inspired me... simply because she acknowledged me and made me feel that what I had to offer was worthy.
