Why are you interested in teaching?<br />
In my 2 nd grade classroom, we have been preparing to<br />
celebrate International Peace Day. We have read about peace<br />
and we have talked about peace. Finally, I asked the children to<br />
draw pictures and write their own descriptive statements about<br />
peace. Here are some <strong>of</strong> their sentences.<br />

―Peace is loving my family.‖<br />
―Peace is sharing pizza with a neighbor.‖<br />
―Peace is buying a cat.‖<br />
―Peace is helping a friend who is hurt.‖<br />
―Peace is making the world a better place.‖<br />
―Peace is going to school.‖<br />
This is why I teach; I teach to inspire and to be inspired.<br />
