>> I think it would do every potential teacher, if you're considering it, find the opportunity
to volunteer intern and to see what it looks like in the front-lines.
To see what happens in that day-to-day, and to know that the connection with students,
that to really thoroughly get into the heart of a child,
to inspire them, requires a lot of work.
So, if there's an opportunity to volunteer intern, whether it is in a public school,
private school, or a non-profit, do it.
And it'll let you know if whether you feel that you are the right fit or not.
Talk to people that are in the field as well.
What were their different paths, their journeys?
When we talk about education and school,
sometimes we automatically think about public schools.
But there are so many different branches of education that you may love working with kids
but you could reach to kids in a different capacity, whether it is through college
and career counseling, through the social work, and so just different branches.
So I think you definitely just have to dabble in all the different arenas and really get
to the core of what you feel your true calling is.
