As I look at this picture with my family I can truly see the joy in my face after graduating and being able to show my family my accomplishments. I am thankful for the support system at my high school that pushed me to be the best student because at the end it was all worth it.

There’s always that one teacher/counselor that you will never forget because their constant reassurance & support that made you a better student & person, for me that was Mrs. Couch. She was our high school’s college advisor and the person that was always in our ear to turn in that scholarship & do things out of our comfort zone. Her caring personality shaped me not only as a better student but a better person. I strive to be her in my career as an educator.

I was fortunate to win several scholarships in high school & the most important factor in scholarships is the essay. I believe being able to write an essay that reflects on your personal life can be very challenging but with the help of my previous english teachers i was able to go back and ask them for help. I am an English and Education major and I want to be able to teach students in a way where they can understand the material instead of just doing what I say. I hope to become a teacher who my students feel comfortable enough to come back and ask for help when needed.

High school was not a piece of cake, we are humans and we will not always have good days. I am thankful for the teachers, administrators, counselors, and paraprofessionals that did their best to uplift me when I hit bumps on the road. I remember talking to several teachers about personal problems with out judgement and because of this it made me feel safe coming back and allowing them in my life as a support system. I obviously can not make my students tell me what is going on in their life but I hope I share those attributes that want them to come to me when life gets hard.
