Why i want to teach chem

As my title states here is my first blog.
before i sat down to actually write this i had all of these ideas and what i could write about and i figured it was going to be a piece of cake, well i must say that it is not as simple as one thought. 
Let me introduce myself a little bit before i get to the nitty gritty stuff. My name is Andrew for starters, I am a student working on becoming a high school chemistry teacher. Why you might ask?(dont worry most people do) and my answer is this...I love chem, its hard as hell but its awesome. I love the feeling of seeing a really cool experiment and knowing what is going on in that reaction. I also want to be able to have my students realize that chem isnt a bad thing to know. its not scary, its not that hard, it just takes time and practice to learn and really know how to do it. Thats why i want to teach chemistry. So this is pretty cheesy but my mentor teacher has a motto that i think fits pretty well when it come to chemistry: chem.is.try....get it? good.
