My name is Laura Etzell and I am a twenty-year old junior pursuing a degree in elementary education. I am interested in education because I believe that it is a career that really makes a difference in the world and is ever changing so it won’t get old. I am a 2006 honor graduate of Hickory High School and have lived in the Chesapeake area for my entire life. My favorite hobby is dance. I have taking dance from Mary Ann Wood School of Dance for eighteen years and plan on returning for a nineteenth. I also enjoy traveling with my family, especially to the beach. My personal education philosophy is that children are the future of our society and their primary education is the foundation for the rest of their life. Even if the students I teach do not remember me, they will remember the life skills and education they were taught in my classroom. Having such an impact on so many children is what makes me want to teach. Not only do I love working with kids, I am humbled by the progress and excitement of children when they understand a concept. It is extremely satisfying for me and is in my opinion the most important job because everyone needs a primary education.
