Hey, my name is Matthew McGee. I want to be a teacher one day. I am currently a student at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. I am ending my third year of college this semester. I attended Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in Gautier, Mississippi for two years prior to moving to Mobile and enrolling at USA.

Why I Want To Teach...

Honestly, I want to teach because being in that position allows me the opportunity to effect thousands of people in a community. I do not mean simply the lives of my students, but those my students come in contact with throughout there lives. The big picture! We as a society...

Some may think this is a long shot, but I want to have a lasting positive effect on my students. I want to be that one great teacher that maybe made them see things differently or helped them find their own voice in the world. That sort of stuff. I honestly don't expect to win them all.

If I can effect the lives of even just a few of my students throughout my years of teaching, then I have succeeded. Maybe one day those students will want to do the same, maybe not by teaching but by other means, and help continue to make this world a better place by influencing our future generations to do better as "a people",a whole, a society.
