The field of education is the basis for providing students the opportunity to think, problem solve and expand their minds. The methods used have changed over the years but it is always about the student's growth and the relationships you build with them.
Why I became a teacher...I grew up with an entire family of teachers. My mother was a teacher in our small town and many of my friends had her in class. My grandmother was a teacher, my older sister became a teacher. It is in my blood, it just took be awhile to get there. I went to college to be a teacher,. I majored in math, but changed my mind about teaching and took up computer courses after spending a summer internship working for the Army Corp of Engineers in DC. After college I worked in the computer field for 9 years before deciding teaching really was in my blood and my heart. I went back to school to get my certification. I have never regretted it!
