As a teacher, I am dedicated to creating the best classroom environment for my students while leading them guiding them to new discoveries. My professional objective is to continue working in a middle childhood teaching position where I can positively impact students and prepare them for future academic and real-world success. I truly believe that the young adolescents in our nation's schools need educated, encouraging, supportive teachers who are both willing to put in the time and walk the extra mile for in order to ensure academic excellence in their classrooms. This is especially important at the middle school level where young adolescents not only encounter the challenges placed by the state mandated curriculum but also those created by their own rapid cognitive, psychosocial, and physical development. I am willing to make this journey and I strive to help others to as well.
