Getting Inspired: The spark that drove this student to seek his online teaching certification

 In Teacher Certification

For most of us, the careers we choose align to our passions. This passion is typically derived from a personal life experience that ignites a spark within—something that truly inspires us. For Todd Nemyo, a current TeacherReady® teacher candidate, his desire to earn his online teaching certification came from his work at a state juvenile facility. As Todd completes his teacher certification coursework online, he continues to work at the juvenile facility. Thus, he is constantly reminded of his purpose and why he wants to be a teacher: to help the youth improve their lives through education. Here is what Todd had to say with regards to this:

Based upon socioeconomic factors, education can be utilized to move people into higher income brackets. Research has shown that by increasing education levels of individuals, it will generally improve their economic status. I am interested in helping students raise their level of academic productivity to provide them a better life. This is why I would like to become a certified teacher.
