fine i'll give in and do it

I'll be a teacher.  Since high school I've been stuck pondering what the hell I'd actually want to go back to school for (school was hell in every way imaginable for me).  Its been four years, most of the people I know are graduating from college this year, me I've been procrastinating as usual. Sure I've grown a lot and learned all about my little ol' self, and I've talked with a lot of people about my options education is after all very important.  The one thing that keeps coming up from friends and family ect. is teaching.  Forever I was like yeah right let me sit here and laugh, I can barely make my self walk through the doors to get to class, you expect me to pick a vocation that would require that of me until I retire? However in the last few weeks some thing just clicked, I like working with kids, I think the education system sucks, and I had a shitty time so that would make me a better teacher because I'd know what it was like, I strongly value community, kids are really awesome to work with and I don't want any one else to ever have to go through what I did going to school.  I'd entertain the thought every so often and immediately dismiss it but after watching one of my favorite authors Dave Eggers speak about his tutoring shops around the United States. . . well it all just fell together in my head.  Its a weird feeling to know what you want to do.   I guess I can let my self go to college now.
