Changing the way we see the world.
Hands down creating meaningful relationships with my students. Sometimes, being able to sit down and talk with a student who really needs it is more important than the lesson I'm teaching that day and that's okay. To me, teaching goes beyond the classroom and the standards of what we are supposed to teach daily. While I love teaching my students skills and strategies to physical education, I more so love that I am able to see them as more than just my students, but as young adolescents who at times need some guidance along the way.
I decided to become a teacher because it is a profession prevalent in my family (4 aunts, 1 uncle, grandmother, and mother are all teachers!) and I saw the impact that my family had with individual student lives, in addition to their education. It seemed like an important job, and I LOVE people, so here I am!
I hope to create a community where kids feel comfortable taking risks, working through struggles, celebrating differences, and sharing learning moments.
