Many people choose a career that emphasizes their best qualities that can be used to make an influential impact in the world around them. For these reasons, I have chosen to be a teacher.

Johns Elementary, a Title I school in Quincy, FL. During my semester, I was able to help facilitate centers, decorate the class word wall and bulletin board weekly, and learn how to implement organizational strategies for students work and grading. I was able to work with many ESOL students and gain insight on the aspects of teaching students with a different primary language and how to alter lessons to fit the needs of a diverse classroom.

This is very important as a teacher because a teacher must remain confidential when it comes to information about the student. I can also bring a group of people to attention and lead them in voting and other meetings that are both engaging and listening.
