What made me want to be a teacher: My mother taught first grade in a Billings elementary school next to my junior high school. Each day I rode to school early with her and drove home with her. I spent before and after school helping her in her classroom. I decided then that I wanted to be a teacher.
My favorite thing about being a teacher: My favorite aspect of being a teacher is the varied daily interaction with the kids.
I’d like you to know this about me: I have high expectations for myself and my students. I believe that each of us is a work in progress, and although change for the better may be slow, it can happen, and will happen. I strive to come alongside my students to help them become the best they can be in the short time that I have them as a students. |
