I attended the University of Arizona to complete my bachelor's degree in Public Health. Once I completed that I moved into the real world and eventually made my way to teaching.]]> 2019-01-26 17:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324592281 ant2197898 https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324592514 I have worked in most types of employments in my journey to teaching. My first job was at an amusement park. Once I went to college, I worked at Macy's for a while.  When I left Macy's I went to  work for the University as a student transporter. After college, I became a baker and chef at a local restaurant. Then I worked at a rehabilitation facility for a few years. Finally I arrived at Vulture Peak as a teacher and coach.]]> 2019-01-26 17:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324592514 ant2197898 https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324592815 I currently hope to learn as much as I can while I am a student teacher at VP. I hope I can make a difference in the students' lives as well. I have learned that teaching is not only work but a passion to care and develop these children.]]> 2019-01-26 17:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324592815 ant2197898 https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324592970 I am currently enrolled in classes attempting to become a certified teacher in the state of Arizona. I will learn techniques and skills for the next two years in hope of achieving this goal. I will be doing this all while I am teaching full-time too!!]]> 2019-01-26 17:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324592970 ant2197898 https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324593263 This is my first week as a teacher and a student. So far I have enjoyed the process. It has been a bit stressful since there is more work to do, but I am definitely learning something. I have already adopted some techniques from the textbook for my classroom. It was very encouraging to see those skills I read about work in the real world.]]> 2019-01-26 17:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ant2197898/76y7ygp6ltcz/wish/324593263
