Would i make a good teacher (characteristics?)?

-i graduated with a business degree, but i am thinking of getting a k-8 teaching certificate. i care a lot about children, and i admit that when i eventually have kids i would like the summers and holidays off so i could care for them (i see all my friends struggling to shuffle their children to and from sitters).



positive traits- on one side, my whole life everyone has always told me i would make a good teacher. i love kids and i would do my best to be a great teacher and help each one succeed. i am very caring, observant.



negative- i am very shy, and i know i would have to deal with some very 'strong-willed' parents, i am somewhat patient, but i don't know how patient i could be when the kids are absolutely bratty. i'[m also somewhat disorganized which i could work on..





i was just wondering if anyone had any comments. i know the money is not the best and yes, i think the vacations are nice (though not the reason i'm doing this). i just don't know 'what it takes' to be a teacher. also, what are your feelings on being a teacher.Working with children, it's either love or hate, there isn't any in between. You either love it or hate it! Also, the term "bratty" is quite telling as to how you feel about this. Sure, kids have bad days, but us teachers that truly love our jobs, don't use that term.
