Since both of my children, Dylan who is almost 6 and Anna who just turned one were born in Eugene, Eugene is my home now. The reason I want to be a teacher is because I believe education is the foundation for our society.
Education is also the key to unlock the door to the wonder of knowledge.
Education opens people's eyes and minds, and it stretches imaginations about the possibilities of one's own dream. Teaching is also one of the most rewarding jobs I can think of. It gives me a great sense of pride and privilege to know that I have the opportunity as a teacher to touch students' lives and help them realize their own dreams. Since I am a former high school drop out, I feel that I can really relate to the students who are underachievers and who feel that school is not the place for them. I am a perfect example of how far your dreams can take you.
