Keeping focus on the students is necessary because they are the reason we have jobs in the first place. I teach because I have a passion for changing lives. Therefore my ultimate drive is the student. When I begin to lose focus or when I try to inspire focus in my students, I evaluate what I want in life, what my purpose is and what I want to do/where I want to be, and it gives me motivation to finish the necessary steps to acheive my goal.
