Objective: I will expand my teacher licensure into the field of elementary education. I will settle into a job as a primary grade school teacher for the next part of my educational career. I feel that everything I have done until this point has lead me to elementary education, and I plan to give everything I have to the children that I teach.
Philosophy: I aim to educate and motivate children to work to their potential and beyond. I encourage setting realistic goals to strive for and achieve. We are all special and different, and our expectations of ourselves should reflect who we are as individuals. My job is to assist students in their journey to becoming happy and productive citizens of our world.
