graduating from college
graduating from high school
living in another country, and learning the language

Answer 1

Most helpful (check these):
- graduating from high school — required to enter college teacher-prep programs.
- graduating from college — typically required (often with a degree in science or in education).
- volunteering to work in classrooms — gives relevant experience and helps decide if teaching is a good fit.

Less relevant (don’t check):
- living in another country, and learning the language — can be valuable for cultural experience but is not a core milestone for becoming a high-school science teacher.
- completing an internship at a newspaper — useful for communication skills but not directly related to classroom teaching.
- learning to swim — a useful life skill but not relevant to this career path.
