I became a teacher because when I was in college I wanted a profession where I could somehow make the world a better place. Cliche as it sounds I felt if I had a job that I enjoyed spreading positivity somehow my occupation would stay meaningful everyday. At the time I wanted to better the world through art and my dad suggested adding teaching onto my major. When I started student teaching I knew I found my vocation. I educate 4th graders now, and the world is a little better every day!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have memorable teaching experiences everyday. What makes being a teacher different is experiencing pride and confidence WITH your students when they master a new skill! Or quiet moments when one to one you see something click and they “get it” those are the most memorable moments for me!
