At various times in my life I wanted to be a teacher. I never pursued it. At the time, the primary restriction was that education. It always was, even though that restriction became easily overcome in later years.
But I was realistic in one respect. As much as I wanted to teach it would not have been a fit. Not that I would not know the subject. I would have chosen a subject that I would have confidence in. It would simply been that I have no patience for someone who does not want to learn. I was always honest enough to realize that, regardless of my desire, I could not teach. The only possible exception would have been at the college level. This is supposing that the students at that level want to learn. Even at that level, I suspect that is a pipe dream.
The irony is that, when working with people one-on-one, I have been highly successful. But once again, my “students” were extremely motivated. One needed to get a passing grade in computer programming language to keep her scholarship. Another person needed to pass his second attempt at math to get into the Marine Corps. A single, long, session with both of these accomplished this task. In fact the young man got into the Marine Corps and into a specialty that essentially kept him out of direct combat years later.
But still, while I wanted to be a teacher and had limited success, I knew I could not become a teacher myself. And that is why I admire those who can so highly.
