Helping students succeed has meaning, purpose, and calling for me because I have a passion to instill a love of learning into the children I encounter. Children really are the future and I want to help them succeed and most importantly help them have the confidence that they can succeed. My gifts and talents were meant to fulfill to be an Elementary Education teacher because I have patience to work with children. I also have a passion to teach children and love to watch them learn new things. I have taught different age groups ranging from age one to preschool. This has helped me develop the ability to learn how to modify methods of teaching to help various ages of children. My long-term vision of being a teacher, with students and the world is to leave a lasting impact on them. I want my students to remember me as the teacher that helped them with their confidence, taught them to love learning, and deeply cared for them.
