Teaching Philosophy

My experience in junior high and high school was typical of most students who pass through the public school system. I did well in my classes, but I still felt like I was a part of the faceless crowd until I reached my senior year. During this year I had an amazing English teacher who saw me as an individual with a voice. She helped me see that I had potential and then gave me the tools to accomplish dreams that I did not think were possible. I want to follow in my teacher’s footsteps to help students to realize that they are important individuals with great potential. I also want to provide my students with the tools they will need to be successful both in and out of the classroom.
