Why I Teach
As a classroom teacher, I have worked with more than a thousand students. My ultimate goal during my teaching career has been to serve as a positive role model for the students and to provide life-long learning skills. My motivation comes from a personal goal to help students gain universal skills for inside and outside the classroom. I must lead my students into the future by providing them confidence with an awareness of the careers and technology that are continuously developing and changing in the 21st century. I am rewarded by seeing the sparkle in a child’s eyes or a smile on their face and I am inspired to enter the doors of the school and the classroom day after day. Because you never get a second chance at a first impression, I make sure that I am ready, every day, for the students to enter my class.
