Our mascot was a gecko and this was the only school I went to that had outside portables. My middle school was brand new and I was the first class of students to go through 5th-8th grade there. ]]> 2017-02-08 23:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cvergatos/mqmccsg5tabh/wish/152646571 cvergatos https://padlet.com/cvergatos/mqmccsg5tabh/wish/152646587 My high school, Hume-Fogg Academic, is a magnet public school that required a lottery to be admitted into the school. Located downtown,it is the oldest public school in Nashville. My grandmother went here, too! The school has consistently been ranked the best public school in the state of Tennessee and in the top 50 public schools in the country.

Bradley offered the resources of a large university, with the personal connections of a small college.

The experience was unforgettable, and I learned more about teaching and the public school system than I thought I would have. My experiences there have shaped the way I look at teaching and the path I want to go down in my career as an educator.]]> 2017-02-08 23:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cvergatos/mqmccsg5tabh/wish/152646611 cvergatos https://padlet.com/cvergatos/mqmccsg5tabh/wish/152646629 After graduation, I taught at a summer camp at Bradley University called World of Wonder. W.O.W was my first time being in charge of a classroom by myself and I was able to experience a more hands on style of teaching. 
Currently, I am a graduate assistant at Bradley University. I work in the Admission Office and deal with prospective students and their families in helping with the college decision process. ]]> 2017-02-08 23:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cvergatos/mqmccsg5tabh/wish/152646629
