Claiming The Role of Teacher

So I'm in this education class this semester and it's really awesome. The teacher always has us doing these activities that are simple: for example, last class we had to stand in front of the class and say "Hello, Mr/Ms. ___________ is not here today, but I am Mr/Ms. ___________ and I will be teaching you today." Then we had to write a journal type entry to our teacher about "how we feel claiming the role of teacher outloud" and I kinda liked my response... so I'm reposting it here.

Claiming the role of teacher is not scary or weird, as I thought it might be. Then I think about it and I'm not as surprised. Being a teacher has been a natural thing for me, I feel like, because that's what I enjoy doing. Teacher and helping and guiding... I've been a camp counselor/counselor type for 3 years at summer camp, a music teacher at Temple for a year, and before those experiences I enjoyed teaching people things. So "claiming the role" just feels like the natural next step.
