Soaring out like an eagle is what I find myself to be best described as. I seem to always be looking outward to new challenging yet rewarding experiences. Some have been though my passions of cheerleading while others have been my work experience with children. .
Coming from a small net community net I found myself to be interested in more of I can make and have then what is provided. Leaving a cheerleading squad whom I have been with for 8 years and walking in the door to a squad as a total stranger makes me much of who I am today. I always asked myself, "Am I making the right decision?" In the back of my mind I know there is a reason why I am choosing this path I chose. Finding a new squad brought new friendships, strong bonds of trust, and traveling to places that made me realize there is more to life than my community and its surroundings. .
Though my past work experiences I have found that children today thrive for learning, much like I do. Teaching for me was not always what I thought I saw in my future; today I see it as my career. To see children learn, the smiles on their faces after their accomplishments, is one of the most rewarding things about teaching I believe. Money does not always have to be the reward in life; I find my job more rewarding the check I receive. I have worked also with server ADD students and mildly down syndrome adults. I have found this very challenging because each child has their own needs, but I learned each individual have their own way of succeeding. I was not only teaching, each of them taught me a lot. .
---- has shown all the qualities of a great university I am looking for, not only to hold a great reputation. Located in a quiet section of Connecticut along with great scenery, this small university seems to prove its challenging but wiliness to help their student thrive for a great education. Seeing family and intern teacher come from ---- had proven this is a place I am looking for.
