For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to work with teenagers. I’ve been

told that it takes a special person to do this. I want to teach Middle School Language Arts. This would entail planning lessons and

teaching several classes a day. I’ll have to meet with parents and grade lots of papers.
