During my experience, I made a commitment to teach with a purpose and serve with a smile. Every day I told myself today is going to be better than yesterday and the change I make today will benefit more of my students. Before I entered my classroom, I made sure I had a positive attitude and a bright smile. While working with my students I made sure they felt the love I had for them. Every morning I spoke to my students and gave them a hug. This may seem like a small gesture, but it meant something to me when my students come to me every morning in a great mood. I will continue to impact urban education by taking everything I learned this summer and using it while completing my community service at a local elementary school.
