I want to teach because I believe it's a really important thing to do, and I believe that I have what it takes to do the job well.

The challenge is that there is no one way to reach an entire class.

Doing well in school wasn't always a priority for Ryan. I did all the typical things to try to get away with not doing an assignment, and I found that they didn't work. Then in college I began taking some pride in my classroom work and it grew from there. His teaching certification will be in broad field Social Studies. I've decided to do my intern teaching next spring when I won't have any other classes to attend.
