A Reason I Would Love Teaching

The reason I think I would love to teach is my passion for the subject. I am going into social studies (History). I love figuring out the "why" of things around me. Why are we in Iraq? Why is the situation in North Korea so delicate? Or even the simple questions like, Why does the military salute with the right hand? Some of these questions have very serious consequences. An understanding of history can help put things into perspective. I feel that most students don't really give a rats tail about history and I believe it is because most school put history on the lower end of the spectrum in the hierarchy of required subjects. I want to pass on my passion about history to the students.
