Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
First, I wanted to be a lawyer when I entered college
2.
Then I realized the amount of schooling I would have to endure, so I looked into other options.
3.
Both of my parents are teachers and I loved the school system & atmosphere.
4.
I then went and shadowed a few teachers at all levels to see which age I would like to teach.
5.
When I decided the level in which I wanted to teach I started volunteering as a tutor.
6.
Then I graduated and became a teacher.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
Teachers don't make enough money.
How I responded:
Our payment is not by the dollar amount, it is by the smiles that the students give us when they understand something or are simply just enjoying the learning process.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
Affording college- I took out loans so that I could pursue my dream!
Testing anxiety- I taught myself techniques to make me successful even at the college level.
