I've always wanted to be a teacher, and I'm studying in university now. My biggest inspirations were the teachers who were laid-back, yet took their work seriously; willing to goof off, yet also be mature.
My biggest dream is to teach in a regional school, as a science teacher, with a close-knit community, and eager students.
If you want to go to a selective school to pursue your future career, that's great! They can help you understand and even guide you into the right direction. One of my friends did 3/4 Further Maths in Year 11, and an ATAR in the mid-90s, and she still didn't know what career she wanted after Year 12. Sometimes, you wake up one day and know exactly what you want to do, other times, it takes a bit of self-discovery. If you want to, you could email or contact the Melbourne Zoo about the career pathway that it takes. Hopefully soon, we'll see you with the seals!
