“What inspires me to be a teacher…”

Student’s creativity and joy inspires me to be a teacher. When any student looks at a tough problem (mathematical or otherwise) and begins to see it from a new perspective, they can turn it from an insurmountable pile of rubble into a bridge to greater learning. Anytime that I can encourage students to persevere in mathematics, and find excitement in their success, I am encouraged to keep teaching.
