My favorite educational moment in my two years of teaching has been involving a student in my first year. I was thrown into the classroom in the middle of the school year, because I took the place of a teacher that was fired. I was overwhelmed and every felt like I was just trying to stay above water. The last day of school I had a student write me a note about how I impacted his life more than I could ever know. He had lost his mom to cancer that semester, but told no one. He told me that I was the best part of his day and kept him encouraged each day. That note reminded me that at the end of the day the curriculum is is not the most important, how I make the students feel is. It kept me encouraged to always pay attention to how I am speaking to a kid, and my attitude.

After graduating from UCO I had the chance to go work at Disney World for a year. I worked at the World Famous Jungle Cruise. It was a dream come true for me. I was able to meet and work with people from all over the world. I learned how to go above and beyond at my job and put others before myself. The year I lived in Orlando I grew up a lot and came back with big goals and dreams.

One of my favorite things to do is travel. I love seeing new places, experiencing new people, and understanding just how big our world really is. I have had the opportunity to travel to many different states and a few different countries. I hope to always have the chance to explore new places and take exciting adventures.

I am blessed to have an extremely supportive family. We all have so much fun together and they are always there to celebrate with me in the good times and be there for me in the bad. I have a younger sister that just graduated from Southern Nazerene University, she is driven and motivated... she inspires me every day.

I began the Educational Leadership program last January. I will graduate May 2018. I have enjoyed all of the classes in the program so far, I am able to take the lessons I learn into the classroom and I know I will be able to take them into my future administrative position. This course will be super important, as technology plays a huge role in my career. I am excited to learn more about the way I can use technology to better me as an educator.
