I teach to help cultivate a true appreciation for visual art. I love to see students feel a  personal sense of accomplishment.

Teaching is worth it when I am building a connection with my students, and making them feel like they are valued as person. It is also worth it when I provide them opportunities to explore other sports than the sports they are comfortable with.

I love to see the growth of students as they embark and conquer what they once thought and felt was a challenge. I love to see their minds shift and their love for learning take hold.

My why having students understand that learning and education can take them anywhere they've ever dreamed of when they put the work into.

# data[].attributes.body
I struggled to find my way into teaching; I was focused on writing and journalism and the wonderful world of literature. I think the part where things connected for me was when I realized that I needed to create experiences for others. With writing you realize how to create, retell, and capture stories and moments. You do the same with teaching; at least I do. I teach because I have been given wonderful experiences between school, home, and abroad. I feel teaching allows me to create meaningful experiences as I too get to experience learning all over again.

Teaching young minds is a passion of mine and a personal responsibility that I took as an oath when I decided to major in Elementary Education at Tuskegee University! It is my duty to make a positive impact on student learning and student growth. At the end of the day, I know that I have fulfilled my calling when I see my my students learning!

Teaching is worth it when I am able to build and formulate relationships with my scholars which allows for the trust factor to occur so that they feel safe enough to learn and grow with me as their educator.

I believe that this work allows me to be apart of changing the world. We don't know who these tiny humans will grow up to be. The knowledge we instill and relationships we build with them may end up igniting something in them that will alter life (hopefully for the better) for not just them but their communities etc. in the future.

The kids are my "My Why"! I enjoy how they process information and regurgitate it back in mastery. I enjoy those scholars you have taught come back and want to see you (I don't have that here, but when I did). I also like the "challenge" of applying some new strategies in learning (sometimes 😉).
