A strong woman is someone who carries herself through trials. She does not broadcast her strengths only, but humbly acknowledges her weaknesses. She motivates and encourages others because of the kindness she holds in her heart. She knows when to say "no" to others and protect her peace. When altercations or misunderstandings arise, she talks calmly and with an open mind. A strong woman is someone who gets up every day despite the tears in her eyes. Someone who fights demons on her own but is a shoulder to cry on for others. Who has a dream and will chase after it no matter how the path to the end is. A woman is naturally strong and must only step into what she was born with. In all emphasizing the Lords grace and kindness. A women, like men, is made in the likeness of God. Nowadays, femininity movements have manipulated the beautiful design of women and their impact. As for me, my calling and light to God is becoming a education teacher. When I was a young girl, I did not like school and reading textbooks. From then on the little me was determined to help move the school system to a more inclusive learning system. Where different applications are made to help reach all different kinds of learners and their needs. From there on, I volunteered and worked with many young children. Whether that be the daycare at church or teacher assistant at another daycare facility. This allowed me to see a passion for children, wanting to protect them but also push them to grow. With this tender care, I, as a future teacher, can turn a classroom into a safe place where students strive to challenge themselves. Furthermore, my experiences in daycares, especially within the church, also shaped the foundation of my values as an educator. From a Christian perspective, I see each child as a unique creation of God, deserving of love, patience, and guidance. When I volunteered at the church daycare, I witnessed firsthand the importance of nurturing children in both their character and their learning. I learned that teaching is not simply about academics—it is about modeling kindness, empathy, and patience. Christ’s example of servant leadership inspires me to approach teaching with humility, compassion, and a willingness to put my students’ needs first. This perspective has deepened my passion to create not only a safe classroom but also one filled with respect and encouragement. As I continue my studies in elementary education with a focus on STEM and psychology, I carry this background with me. My goal is to integrate my academic training with my faith and childcare experiences to build a classroom where curiosity is encouraged, challenges are embraced, and every student knows they are valued. Teaching, for me, is not just a career—it is a calling to serve, uplift, and prepare the next generation to thrive. I only pray that my time on earth is serving others to all of my ability, which in this case are working with young hearts.

Moreover, I am currently taking classes on elementary education with an emphasis on STEM. Along with a minor in psychology. This way I am learning how to reach students where they are at mentally, physically, and in learning level. Along with creating interactive lessons that bring textbook concepts to life. While also learning to work with other colleagues and offices to benefit school approaches. Sharing information to help specific students succeed on personal goals and educational standards. This type of communication and collaboration can help further advocacy and outreach to improve the school system across states.
