I think I might want to be a teacher and I love kids, but I get really frustrated when people don't catch on quickly. Any tips on how I might fix this problem?

I used to be the same way but I love teaching so much I majored in it anyways. The way I fixed my problem is I go to class with about 10 different ways to explain one thing. I try each way untill everyone gets it. Everyone usually understands by the first or second explaination. But you have to remember that nobody is the same so therefore not everyone will learn the same. You just need to be creative in your teachings so you touch everyone.

Patience is 90% of being a teacher. On those rare (believe me, they really are rare) occasions when you've seen a teacher lose their "cool," were you aware of just how much they put up with before losing it?
If people "caught on quick," teachers wouldn't be needed. We would just hand kids books and leave them on their own to figure it out. Your whole job will be involved with figuring out what people who "don't get it" need to be able to understand the content or skill, and being able to do lots of different approaches based on what the kid needs.
Work as a teacher's assistant (if you want a full-time job) or as a substitute teacher (if you want flexible hours) to get a "feel" for this whole thing. If you can do it for two years straight, with kids saying "thanks!" to you a whole bunch rather than glaring and muttering under their breath, then you have what it takes to be a teacher.
If you find that teaching is not your thing, but you still want to work with kids, there are many other kid-focused jobs out there. Look around in your community to see what's available.

Do it for the love of TEACHING the subject you teach.
Learn a variety of learning activities that will effectively deliver your subject matter.
Learn methods for evaluating and analysing student work.
Learn "tough as nails" and "stick to your guns" attitudes.
Don't get chummy with students. Without apology, lead them with many high expections. You're not there for popularity and love. You're there to get a job done.
Work on time management and organization skills. Learn to get your work done WHILE you are at work, and do NOT take work home. Go to work everyday. Be on time. Work while there. Go home at quitting time.
Don't sacrifice your personal time.

Get a job as a teacher's aide to see if it's something you really want to do. I was a teacher's aide for a year, and I decided teaching wasn't something I wanted to do ... I felt as if I was trying to control the kids and get them to do something they didn't want to do (learn). I found it a thankless job.
