My passion for teaching first blossomed from my younger siblings. I always enjoyed helping them with homework, explaining difficult topics, and even learning new methods that elementary students are using. It developed further when I started working at an after-school/summer program during my sophomore year of high school. I loved watching the children learn new methods and finding themselves. This is what solidified it for me, being able to be there to help assist in their journey.

I have always been proactive and devoted when it comes to my studies. I aim to try my best academically, so that I can achieve results I can be proud of. This is what I want for my future students to learn, even when a grade result might not be what was expected. An environment that allows students to be themselves and learn is what I strive to create. It's okay to have faults and get an answer wrong. I was given a teacher who did that in elementary school, and I still remember it to this day.

I strive to create an environment that allows students to grow and prosper as people. A class should feel like a family, being able to support each other and help teach one another. This class is something that is my deepest desire to create as a future elementary teacher. A safe place to gain a foundation that can be used in the future.
