Undergraduate / 'much more to life than just to have a mansion' - commonapp short answer [4]
Being a teacher is a challenge. The responsibility one has to undertake is huge and the pressure it induces needs some real courage and meticulous behavior to come across. The fun part is that there is immense pleasure to make students understand concepts, make the class drawn towards you and make positive impact in someone else's life. At first, I only took teaching as work that paid me but it got me so interested that I chose to spend my gap year as an assistant teacher. I understood the meaning of "learning"; I saw what it had taken for my parents and teacher to make me; most importantly, I learnt the essence of "giving" which now makes me think that there is much more to life than just to have a mansion, a happy family and a dog. Teaching is a way to learn about whole lot of things.
