When I took the interest inventory the cluster I scored highest in was “Education and Training”. Teacher was one of the careers in that cluster. I think I would make a good teacher because I have the skills required of a teacher-organized, creative, and flexible. I feel that I would be able to create lessons to motivate students and help them learn my subject matter. I also feel that I could deal with the stress of multiple preparations, grade deadlines and disruptive students. Being a Family and Consumer Science Teacher is definitely an option for me.
