I wanted to dedicate a page in my portfolio as a thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey in education.
To my elementary school teachers: thank you for instilling a love of school and of learning, and for conquering the task of teaching young, influential minds.
To my junior high and high school teachers: thank you for continuing to help me grow and learn who I wanted to be, and for helping me take the steps to get there.
To my professors: thank you for sharing your love of teaching with me, teaching me how to be a professional, and believing in me.
To my practicum teachers: thank you for letting me be a part of your classroom, teaching me how to apply what I have learned in class to real students, and giving me invaluable advice and feedback to prepare me for a career as a successful educator.
To my parents: thank you for always supporting and believing in me, no matter how big my dreams are.
Finally, to my husband: thank you for being "student" to practice my lesson plans on, being my shoulder to cry on when it gets tough, and buying me ice cream when I need it.
