 My name is Natasha Grasby. I'm currently a primary school teacher at Green Bank State School. Being a teacher has always been a dream for me since I was inspired by my Year 7 teacher. She always made learning fun, engaging and she was very passionate. You could see that she really cared for her students in her class. It felt great walking into her classroom every day and I see teaching as a two-way street. You have to have an open mind and be creative in your approaches to teaching. Being able to establish those things with your students will really make them valuable learners throughout the classroom. Being a teacher is one of the most rewarding careers you could possibly be in. A regular day is me coming to school early in the morning, preparing things for the lesson, chatting to my other fellow colleagues and there's always support around you. You always attend professional developments where you're constantly learning new things to bring back to the classroom. Yes, there are challenges along the way but those challenges become successful memories for yourself as a teacher and the students. Seeing the students engaged in their learning, those little things remind you that you are doing the right thing as a teacher and you can make a difference for those students. I would say go for it because teaching is such a rewarding career and if you are someone who is always up for a challenge and has a passion for teaching and learning I would say your career has already started.
