Over the past six years I have worked in an elementary school with primary responsibility for teaching a class of grades 2nd-6th grade. Where necessary I have spent a lot of time outside school hours with students who required extra assistance with various areas that they may struggle in. My greatest fulfillment in my teaching career thus far is seeing a student that has been in my classroom graduate from high school and thanking me for my time, compassion, and perseverance. I have found my role as a teacher both fulfilling and rewarding.
