The Asian Student With a High IQ Who Became a Teacher

The Asian Student With a High IQ Who Became a Teacher

In the modern times (1990s or 2000s), there was the story of an Asian student who went to college and was noted to be brilliant and have a high IQ. The student decided that he preferred to be a teacher than go into a lucrative field. To this he was questioned by many individuals of why he did not want to go into business, politics, investment banking, or one of the most monetarily rewarding professions.

The student decided that he preferred to teach students so that they could improve and be better. Despite having one of the highest IQs in the modern era, he decided against pursuing a career based on the expectation of temporary wealth. The humble individual decided to go into teaching and was criticized.

The individual teaches us that life is more than money, silver, and gold. The individual decided against other industries and preferred to give students one if the best educations possible. It is impressive the manner that he chose to have meaning and purpose practicing genuine empathy than choose monetary wealth. 

There are impressive stories of individuals who decided against monetary wealth and preferred to use their talents for good and not for evil. This story is impressive because it teaches us that genuine empathy and working for good is more important than temporary stagflated currency. We have all been encouraged and inspired by amazing teachers since elementary to high school and even college professors who believed that we could be impressive and worked hard to instruct values, industriousness, and discipline.(My 4th grade teacher created an afterschool program so that we passed the national exams. She knew that most students learned Spanish first and English second. There are studies that prove that Spanish speaking students who learn English as a second language are at a disadvantage in tests that are written in English. To help us pass the exams, she stayed after school, worked additional hours that were probably not paid, and helped us learn efficiently. Her hard work and dedication allowed us to pass the exams so that we did not have to repeat the year. Despite the extra work, she accomplished an incredible task and we did not repeat the year. We not only passed the exams but actually did better than expected.)
