Clean Slate

Though I am taking five years to earn my degrees, these final two will be very different from the first three. I have entered an entirely new community of students who are all doing their graduate work, and who all are striving to be exemplory teachers. This means that I am integrating with people who share my passion for education, and I can't think of anywhere I would rather be.

My professors are all phenomenal educators with years of experience who are simply guiding us as we are learning to teach by doing.

I have begun in a third grade classroom in an underpriviledged community this week, and I fell in love with the students the first day. I am so looking forward to see how this year unfolds. It will definitely be challenging and require a lot of hard work, but I am so fortunate to have heard my calling and to have been given the opportunity to realize my dream.

I truly am deeply fulfilled by all that I do.
