My Passion For Teaching

My major is in Education and Human Development and right now I am specifically studying elementary education. I have always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl. I would spend hours playing "school" at home with my younger sisters and stuffed animals as my imaginary class. There has really never been anything else that I have ever been interested in doing other than being a teacher. The older I get and the more education that I am being exposed to, the more I have realized that I have truly made the best decision for myself. 

What is ironic is that I personally never had the best relationship with education when I was younger. This mainly had to with my separation anxiety that I would get from being away from my mother. I dreaded going to school in pre-school and for most of my years in elementary school. My first-grade year was tough for me yet I will never remember the impact that my teacher made on me; I can still remember the exact clothing she wore on our first day. I truly wanted to be like her and that is when my interest in teaching really began. 

Now, so many years later, my interest in teaching has now turned into a real passion of mine. I can not wait to have a class of my own once I graduate in a few more years and have the ability to influence and touch young minds.

    This is really encouraging. I used to hate going to school too. Maybe when you become a teacher you can help kids that have separation anxiety from their parents and struggle coming to school since you know what it feels like. Im sure you will make an excellent teacher.

    Teachers definitely have a large impact on kids, my grandma was a teacher and she had a lot of passion for the job and it seems like you will as well!

My Final Post

This will be my final post! I have enjoyed writing my small blog entries this semester for this course... I do not post on my Instagram or Twitter really so I hadn't "posted" or "blogged" about something in years. I really enjoyed this activity though and as a future teacher, I would love to incorporate something like this into my future classroom! I believe that if I were to incorporate a blog project like this, it could perhaps be a space for kids to share their ideas freely without the judgment or fear that they may feel if they were to talk about it 'in-person' in a classroom. It has also been fun to get to read other's entries and to comment on their posts and if I were to use this idea, I would love getting to see how my students communicate and acknowledge each other's ideas, life, and perhaps even personal topics that they decide to share about.  Thank you all for reading visiting, reading, and living kind comments on my blog this semeste...

My First Time Visiting "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter"

I have always loved Harry Potter. I remember being little and my mom reading the books to me before going to bed. When I was a little bit older, I began reading them on my own. I remember when "The Half-Blood Prince" came out, I literally had my mom and my aunt take me to the theaters to see it close to ten times! Then when the final movie came out I went to the midnight premiere, that will be a night I will never forget!  The First time that I visited the theme park in Orlando, Flordia I was only twelve. I was with my family and I walked in specifically with my mom and aunt. As a twelve-year-old at the time, I was in such shock! It was such a crazy thing for me to be experiencing. Now it has become something that I look forward to visiting each year! Every year since then in the month of October I have gone. Because of COVID this year I will not be going around the time when I usually always go. I was looking over many pictures I have of the Harry Potter World there at Unive...

Colorado

                   I am combining the topics from the previous week and this week and I am going to talk about a building/place that has brought me a memorable experience along with something that I love about Colorado that inspires me. From the pictures above you may be able to guess that this place in Colorado has been memorable for me as well as a place that has inspired my creativity.      I have lived in Colorado my entire life but it wasn't until late high school that I started going to Larimer Square that often. Larmier Square is known as a historic block located in Denver and it is the city's first designated local historic district. These pictures that I have incorporated within this post were taken late this summer around the time when Larmier Square opened back up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As you can see, the signs that are hanging above the block say "Welcome back Denver" and "Together starts here." These s...
