Hi Penny! First of all I just wanted to say, adorable pics! Also, I agree with your philosophy of education. There are many people who just get into the field of education with no passion for actually teaching. I hope to become a Physical Education teacher and help children understand and love physical activity. Asawy005 (talk) 12:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Penny, your philosophy really reaches out to me. I firmly believe that if a child is trying his/her hardest that is all you should ask of them. Who cares about a score when you can see that they are geting it? To make that light bulb go off and see their faces light up is part of my dream. And knowing your a mother, you have experience with what exactly a child wants and needs out of an education   Ascha006 (talk) 18:08, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Penny, I must say I can agree with you on a lot of the jobs you hold now. I myself hold many of those positions and feel at times it is rewarding but also on of the most demanding jobs I have ever had. Your daughter is very cute. I agree with you when you said that it is important to have a passion for teaching. It is when a person looses their passion that they should start thinking about a different path in life. I also feel that if you see a child is putting forth 100% then that should count for something. Children learn in different ways and in our education system today that can sometimes be forgotten.Kendramom3 (talk) 23:53, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey hey Penny! I didn't realize that you were a mother of 3, what a job that must be! It is especially nice to see that your family is so supportive of you during the long process of a career switch. Although I'm still young I also think that teaching has been a lifelong dream of mine, it just took me a while to figure it out.

I also agree with your philosophy. I too plan to wear a smile everyday and give at least one encouraging word. Teachers also need to want to be teachers, if they don't whats the point? They are making the students and themselves miserable. We both know it stinks to be in a career that you don't enjoy. Cweek006 (talk) 00:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
