1. What makes me a good candidate to teach over the next CMU graduate? I am a good candidate because teaching is not just something that I want to do, but it is something that I am passionate about. Teaching is something that I have always wanted to do, and I want to make it my career and life. I am confident that I can give just as much, if not more, than the next CMU graduate. I love kids of all ages and thrive off of their energy. I also want to major in special education. Special Education hits home, and I know on a first hand basis how important it is.
