Contrary to the popular belief that English teachers read for fun, study rigorous topics all the time, and constantly analyze old works of literature, I am sort of the opposite. In fact, my favorite past-time includes baking, singing, watching TED talks, and of course, Netflix!
Although I'm not your average teacher, since the 1st grade, I've always enjoyed the art of linguistics, reading, and writing, and how through understanding, the stories they told, could take me anywhere! ...Being born and raised in the small town of Huntsville, Tx, this to me, was paramount.
From Sam Houston Elementary to Sam Houston State University, I have fallen more and more in love with the English language (and French too! Oui Oui!). I hope to not only ignite and nurture that same passion for English in my students, but to also provoke an unquenchable enthusiasm for learning new and exciting things!
I plan to teach my students to think BIGGER! I want them to know without a doubt that they are capable, that they are smart, and that they too can go ANYWHERE and do ANYTHING their mind takes them...through literacy.
