You won’t just show up on the first day and have the respect of your students. The truth is that you’re going to have to earn their respect.
How can I better understand and relate to my future students? I feel like it's kind of like parenting in a way: you want to be their friend and let them have fun but there also needs to be discipline and you need to be able to have their respect so you can get things done.
However, it’s important to be flexible to best help your students
How do I adjust teaching tactics in class or recognize kids who have different teaching tactics? I know the three types of learners, but I'm just not sure how to please every student's needs at once. Do I just make lesson plans mixed with all three tactics to try and reach all my students?

Preparation is one of the most important things to remember when it comes to teaching. You should plan on creating daily lesson plans.
Again, I am a very organized person. I always have things ready for the next day whether that be an outfit or homework. I also always am on time. I don't like being late it gives me anxiety so I think I will be a very prepared teacher :)

Some of them include time management, organization, critical thinking, and patience.
I would consider myself a VERY organized person. I'm very OCD so I know all my materials as well as my classroom would be very organized. I think I have a good patience in comparison to some teachers I've had in the past, I would just be worried about the time management. Are there classes or courses in college for time management?
If you’re flexible in the positions that you’re looking for, you’ll have an easier time finding teaching positions
Does being flexible in positions mean extra college? I know if you want to be a High School teacher then you have to get a separate degree than an Elementary teacher just because there's different tactics and responsibilities for an 11th grade teacher than a Kindergarten teacher but does that mean I have to go to extra schooling if I can't decide between teaching Science or Language Arts?

As a teacher, you need to immerse yourself in continuing education opportunities to gain more knowledge.
How are teachers able to balance work, extra classes for themselves, grading, having a family, and possibly coaching or sponsoring extra curricular activities? It seems like a lot to balance. Does it just depend on the person or is it common for teachers to take additional classes for themselves to better their teaching skills and tactics?
On the other hand, parents can also add to your stress.
What are some good ways to work with difficult parents? I know my mom can sometimes jump to conclusions about teachers and their ability to provide for a class but what about dealing with parents who can't trust your teaching tactics?

Statistics show that 17% of new teaches quit within the first few years of teaching
What are some ways to avoid feeling discouraged? I really have a passion for working with others and trying to help other and I don't want to lose that just from a bad first year since I've always wanted to be a teacher. Also what are some of the common issues so I know what to be prepared for?

Teacher salaries tend to be on the lower end, but the actual salary varies based on your education and the state and district in which you work.
What are some of the best districts in Georgia to work in when it comes to making a good salary? Not that money is everything but it would be nice to know which districts tend to pay the most. Also it would be nice to know which areas/subjects pay the most, that could potentially have an influence on what field of teaching I enter. Right now I'm debating between Special Education, Biology, and American Literature.

In most jobs, people clock out at the end of the day, head home, and do whatever they want to do. As a teacher, you clock out at the end of the day and head home to start preparing for the next day.
I've heard that working in a public school is less work than working in a private school since in a public school there's a set curriculum that teachers have to follow where in private schools teachers have to make every lesson and tests. Is that true or is it just that public schools still involve extra work, just not as much as private schools?
Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society and at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including wheelchair users.
I thought this was super cool and amazing that tennis, unlike every sport, is something everyone can play.
