Who inspired me to become a Phys Ed Teacher

I chose to become a Phys Ed teacher because as a child growing up I was always and still am athletic. I love sports and I am very competitive. Within my family I have my father and uncle as role models. My father, also a phys ed teacher of 29 years at Lakeland Regional High School, taught me that I can become whatever I want to become in life as long as you love what you do. You have to enjoy going to work because if you don't it is just a job. You have to have passion for your field of work or else you will be miserable. My father and uncle work at the same high school both being head coaches of baseball and soccer. They are also very athletic. Throughout high school I was the only girl to play anything in phys ed while my friends sat on the side and watched. And with my father being my phys ed teacher I had some pressure to do well in his class. I didn't want anyone to think that just because he was my father I had special treatment. That was not the case at all, I actually lover getting changed for class and playing sports with the boys it was challenging.
I would have to say my inspiration comes from my father because I see how involved he is at his job and is well liked by all. I hope one day I could be as good as him and maybe take over when he retires.
