Who Am I?
Hello everyone! I'm Crystal Greene! I'm a new student at ODU. After I graduated high school in 2016 I went to TCC to get my general courses done before transferring to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. During my senior year of High School I took the Virginia Teachers For Tomorrow class, where I interned with a 5th grade class. That experience confirmed my passion for teaching!

I enjoy watching crime documentaries; however, I can't stand the sight of blood.
My favorite flower is sunflowers.
I'm an Enneagram six.
I've traveled to Scotland, China, and Thailand.
My favorite foods are pasta and sushi.
My favorite thing to do is spend time with my friends and family.

Hey! That is so awesome that you have traveled all over...my goal one day is to travel outside of the country somewhere. I also agree that it is super important to make your students feel safe in the classroom since that is where they spend the majority of their week. -Maggie Currin
Hi Crystal! I am also a huge Taylor Swift fan, she was the first concert I ever went to when I was 10 and I loved it. I also sang You Belong With Me at my fifth grade talent show. I think that the class you had in high school, the VA Teachers of Tomorrow is super cool, I've never heard of something like that. I like that you know that you need to work on time management, it is huge with teaching, I also need to learn this. Good job!! -Danielle Enz
Hi Crystal! I loved Taylor Swift when I was younger. I also have the same love for pasta and sushi. I think it is great that you want to be an inspiration for your students. It is so important to teach kindness in the classroom as well. -- Valerie Lieske
