Excerpt
To me there is no profession that goes unappreciated or over looked more than teaching. I have always found it amazing that these individuals who are shaping the lives of America's youth and future leaders salaries, per year, cannot even purchase a luxury car and may possibly be not even one percent of what Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt get paid to stand on the set of a movie. With that in mind, I set out to discover what attracts people to this profession. Is it the fact that it is perceived as family friendly career? Or is it because teachers have a passion for reaching out to kids? Does money not matter as long as they have touched one student's life?
