I am from New Jersey but I just became a Virginia resident and got a new license. I currently live in off campus housing here at ODU. I have an older sister and a younger brother who are both in New Jersey along with my parents. I have 5 fish, they were the only pets allowed in the dorms but I’ve since added new friends for them. I love working with children, they are my inspiration. I am extremely excited to become a teacher because I will be one of many who are helping our youth and essentially our future, what could be better!

Education is largest link from our past to our future. We cannot learn something until we try it. Everyone should have the chance to experience some education no matter what. I think education needs to become a bigger priority. I think you need to cater to your class and see how they learn best rather than what is easiest for the teacher. Some children excel in groups others by themselves. I hope that my classroom with be a warm and inviting place where the students will feel comfortable and excited to come into. No person is judged and learning is fun again because who does not like to have fun while learning. I love technology, that doesn’t mean I always know how to use it but it’s such an important part of the student’s future that they need to be using it and helping me use it. Children need to be shown the basics, once they have a foundation they can build from there. So if they know how to use the internet they can then learn more complex things they can do on the internet. I would like for my class to be able to take turns using the computers in the classroom or library to do research and homework.
