My name is Sophie Bihn and I am here to share my story of why being a teacher is important to me. I would like to not only be seen as a Physical Education teacher, but an advocate for all students at Petaluma High School. Being active at a young age has helped me struggled through mental health and major stressors throughout my life. I find it very important for students to take an early step to focus on their physical health because it's something that will always be a major part in their life. As they eventually leave high school, they will encounter major life stressors and changes that may be very difficult for them to go through. As their teacher I want to be able to give them ways to cope with these problems and come out on top on the other side!
