Introduction...

I always laugh at the saying "those who can't do teach." In my opinion this is completely false, it's not that I don't have the ability to do, it's that I want to share what I can do with others. I have wanted to be a teacher from the beginning. I use to play school and teach my stuffed animals how to do a math problem. I have a passion for help children become the best the can be a to reach their full potential. I think one of the most rewarding moments in life is the "light bulb" moment and the joy that comes to the child from understanding something new.

I grew up in the tight knit community of Kaysville, Utah. I have been surrounded by my entire family my whole life, making family extremely important to me. I am an avid sports fan. I especially enjoy playing basketball and competing in track and field. In addition to sports, music is also an important part of my life. As a child I taught myself to play the piano and guitar. I believe that music can touch the soul and communicate to a person like nothing else. I am also very passionate about art. In high school I had the opportunity to take a course focused on Art History. I immediately fell in love with this subject. I plan to integrate art into my different history lessons in my future class.
