Why Statement

Why did I decide to become a teacher?

I became a Teacher in 2021 to make a difference. Not just in the lives of my students, but my community as well. I believe that the education of our future is vital to the success of our little planet we live on. I was inspired by my very own teachers to educate one day. My journey may have took a little longer than some. But my calling was too loud for me to ignore. I was able to talk to students k-12, youth at risk, and adults who have suffered from SUD. My experience at ADACCV taught me many new life skills and experiences. I plan on bringing that education to my classroom. After my career at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council for the Concho Valley, I knew teaching was my passion and what I was meant to do. I know that education is a prime protective factor in the lives of our students. Showing the students that we all care for them and want them to have a great and positive future we know they all can achieve.
