Bio

I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was 4, but it really hit home with me when I was in the 4th grade. My teacher then really made an impact on me, and I want to do the same thing for other kids. I want to make a difference in the world. The best place to start is with the future: kids.

    Bold Career Goals Scholarship
    Everyone has that teacher that’s made an impact on their life. Maybe that teacher is the reason you are where you are today. In 5 years, I want to be that teacher for someone; all because a teacher was that for me. I want to be a teacher for that very reason. I want to be able to make an impact on the world. I believe, to do just that, I need to start with the children of the world. Children are so important to me. They make me smile when I’m having a bad day, and they don’t even know that I’m having a bad day. I want to do that for them. In 5 years, I hope to be doing that. I will, hopefully, be one year into my teaching career at a school that I fit into well. I want to be able to make an impact on children. I want to inspire them to be their best and give their all. In 5 years, I want to be doing just that. I also hope to be married to a great guy who shares the love I have for children as well. In 10 years, I hope to have at least 2 kids of my own with that great guy. Also, by then the kids I’ve been teaching for the past years will be in high school or graduated. I want to be able to see them succeed. If I played a small part in that, I would be right where I want to be.
