"When you love people and have the desire to make a profound, positive impact upon the world, then you will have accomplished the meaning to live."
Sasha Azevedo
I want to teach so that I can have a job where I can go home knowing that what I did that day was important; that I made a difference in someone's life besides my own.
I met Dalen four years ago when I was still in high school helping at the youth wrestling practices. He was the first kid that helped me experience what it meant to be a teacher. After every practice that year, I went home feeling proud of the work I had done and I knew I wanted to feel that way for the rest of my life. My senior year, I decided on elementary education and I haven't looked back since. With my student teaching right around the corner, there is no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision.
