Just a Little Thing Called Life

Well things have been going. I turned in my application to the social work program. That was stressful, but now it's just a waiting game. Andrea got her mission call. I would love to tell you where she is going but she might want to write about that. MIGHT being a big word. I went to Colorado, that was a disaster. My best friend is married now. So, I can say I have married friends. That's weird. Kaitlin is Kaitlin. She had a rough February but she is strong. Jane is Jane and as far as I know she isn't dead. ;) We are all just moving along. The semester is almost over! I can't believe it. It seems like it just started and we only have little more than a month left before it's done. Honestly, though, I can not wait for it to be summer. I have so many adventures ahead of me this summer and I'm dying for it to be warm. I can't believe I'm saying it but I WANT TO GO SWIMMING! I miss warm weather and good water.

My Teaching Philosophy!

My senior year of High School, I had the opportunity to work in a preschool/childcare center based in my High school.  I have always loved working with children, but it wasn't until I had this opportunity that I began to think about becoming a teacher.  I discovered as I worked at this preschool that I enjoyed teaching children and having the opportunity to spend so much time working with them.  I wanted to go into a profession where I would have the opportunity to help people and make a positive contribution to the world, and teaching felt perfect.
When I graduate with my Bachelor's, I want to be an elementary school teacher.  I want to be able to help each of my students work towards reaching his/her potential and to help each students learn as much as possible about their world. I would also like to work towards obtaining an endorsement for teaching gifted and talented students so that I can be a teacher in a spectrum program.
