For the last four years I have worked at a soccer day camp as a coach. Throughout the years, I have been given the opportunity to work with children ages five through twelve. My experience has taught me many skills such as patience, organization, and how to be adaptive. Being adaptive is the most important skill that I acquired because not everyone learns in the same way. I believe this will give me an advantage in the classroom as a teacher, because an educator must have the skill and knowledge to be adaptive to any given situation.
People learn in many different ways.
There are active learners, visual learners, and oral learners. A good teacher should be able to take any given subject, teach and show examples for all the different types of learners. Athletics have played a major role in my life. I have run track for six years and have played soccer for thirteen years. Throughout my career I have played on club teams, my high school team, Olympic Development Programs, and currently I am in my second year here at Central.
