Hopes, worries and fears for the future

I am hoping that my choice of becoming a teacher was a good one and I will be able to touch my students' lives in some way or other. I would like to be there when my students need any kind of support and let them know that they are important and their opinion counts. Also, I would like to change their misconception that math is hard, and make them believe that everybody can learn it if they put their effort and mind into it. I realize that teachers can have a great influence on how their students view themselves and the world around them, and I would like to help them become critical thinkers. My fear is that being a perfectionist, I will push my students too hard and instead of liking math they might start hating it.
