As a young child I desired to teach children who were younger than myself, if there was no one to teach I would teach my Barbies.

As a young child I desired to teach children who were younger than myself, if there was no one to teach I would teach my Barbies. After having a teacher who was not so caring about her students learning I had no desire to teach any longer. My junior year in high school my passion for teaching was renewed by a teacher who taught me that no matter who the student is each is an individual and each needs special attention to accomplish each and every learning goal. After high school I was determined to get through college so that I can start making a difference in the lives of children. It took me a few years longer than I expected but I graduated from college with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education.
During my student teaching I loved teaching literacy and math, I was in 6th grade but I have spent time teaching both in 1st and 3rd grade as well. I loved each and every one of my students. I was able to identify different needs for my students and adapt my teaching strategies to help the students in my class. Questions were a fun past time with my students, by that I mean, when they had a question it was fun to explore that question with them to find the answer.
Each child is different and deserves to have the benefits of individual accommodations to help them reach their potential.
