Joys

 - Teachers teach because they love the subject that they are teaching. This was a huge reason for me to get into teaching. I want students to love history as much as I do. I have a lot in common with Darnell Jackson and could learn a lot if I try out his tactics. The betterment of society by teachers is just an added bonus to me that makes the job look even better.

 - Experiencing intrinsic rewards is a joy of teaching. The satisfaction of students grasping the content that you teach is a great feeling. When the student learns the content we will both be happy because they are learning and understanding that they can do it. This gives them a better attitude in the classroom and they are more eager to learn.

 - Teachers make a difference. Effective teachers make a difference in their student's learning which is what we want from the education system. This makes both the student and teacher feel great. This also gives faith back into the education system and others try to adopt successful practices. These are evidence based practices.

 Non-Joys

 - Teachers are required to manage 20-40 students hour after hour. This is not joyous because it makes teaching seem tedious. We all know that having closer to 40 students is not the most ideal situation for any teacher. One teacher is not enough to handle that many students and the teacher can get flustered especially a new teacher. Saying hour after hour makes teaching sound like it goes by slow and it is boring. This makes me feel like the teacher does not want to be in the classroom.

 - "Is teaching the right choice for you?" "This book will help you explore whether teaching is the right profession for you." This is not joyful because I don't want to think that I am choosing the wrong profession. I want to think that I have made the right decision and I am going to be a great educator. I am three pages into the book and I feel like teaching is a super hard job that many people change their minds about. I want to be a teacher and I do not want to be convinced otherwise.

 - Teachers have to take many tests and get licenses to teach. This means you need to take several different version of Praxis and pass it each time to get further into the field. History majors have one of the hardest tests because they need to know economics and other social studies subjects as well. It is stressful to think about all of the tests that I have to study for and I do not want to fail them and fail at becoming a teacher.
