A little bit about me...

I am a part time student right now at the University of South Alabama. I am majoring in Elementary Education. I am planning to graduate in the spring of 2012. After graduating with my Bachelor's Degree, I plan on working towards my Master's Degree in Special Education. I hope to find a teaching job after graduation in 2012.

Why I have chosen to be a Teacher

The first reason I have chosen to become a Teacher is because I love kids! I want to help students believe in themselves. Without believing in yourself, it is very hard to get where you want to go. Teaching is a very important job. To trust that your students will learn what they need to learn in order to succeed in school and life is tough. Teachers have to be creative in my opinion. We will not always have the students who are excited to learn. For those students who are not excited, we have to find a way to relate the material to them so they will be excited about learning. We have to be life long learners. If we do not continue to educate ourselves on technology, changing curriculums, etc, how can we expect our students to continue to learn from someone who doesn’t want to?
