Tell us what has inspired you to become a teacher and tell us why you think teaching is a good career choice for you.
My motivation to become a teacher has grown significantly since I met a dedicated and ambitious teacher named Mr. Kawaguchi at high school, who taught me what is important in life. As he took students to various places to explore the world themselves, he encouraged his students to be wild and adventurous so they could have stimulating learning experiences. For instance, he sometimes let us conduct a community survey to analyze local problems and other times take a tour of a city to find its cultural features, all of which they could not have learned at school. Such practical opportunities not only led to an intimate relationship between students and local residents but also to their growing curiosities toward the world, increasing their motivation to learn throughout their life. Since then, I have believed that education is essential for the progress of individuals and society and is what people need the most to solve complicated problems in this fast-changing world.

Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and this money could be better spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view
Many individuals believe that the government is wasting money on the arts rather than other important things like subsidies and infrastructure. I strongly agree with the statement because art does not play a vital role in society rather affects it negatively. In addition to that, the money wasted can also be used for compensating other important subsidies like solar panels and irrigation facilities for farmers.
