My Time

I first wanted to be a high school teacher when I was in high school. I had some remarkable teachers who made an impact on me when a lot of people could not as I was caught up in my turbulent teenage years. I hope to do the same for the students I will teach.

I drifted off my path during and after college. I focused on other subjects, and eventually thought I wanted to earn my PhD in Art History. After I graduated from college, I decided to take a year away from school to ensure that I was making the best choice for me. That year turned into eight, life happened, and now I find myself at the place I was when I was in high school - wanting to be a teacher. Now it is my time to work towards my goal. I am currently in a program which enables me to earn my Teaching Certificate and Masters in Education simultaneously. I look forward to the day when I will begin teaching.

I have started this blog to collaborate with some of the classmates in my program and make connections with current educators.
