My interest in history developed at a very young age. Similarly to many other history teachers, I had a teacher in my middle school years that inspired me. I remember, at a young age looking up this particular teacher. I felt like I could rely on him not only as a teacher but as a reliable figure in my life. This inspiration branched off into vigorous amounts of research in the field of history. I became obsessed with ancient civilizations and the way that human history has progressed since ancient times. However, I always end up bringing myself back to the same thought that I want to be a reliable figure for my students in their lives. As my last days at Hillcrest Elementary School have approached, I have begun to see the impact I have made on my students' lives. That is what makes it worth it for me.
