Summary

I believe I am right person for a teaching job within this school district. My philosophy on teaching is all students can learn if given the chance. There is a multitude of students who do not get the adequate amount of love, nurturing, or attention at home and my goal is to serve this community with everything I have to offer to the future leaders of our town, state, and even country. A little love and words of encouragement can go along way when regarding a vulnerable population such as students. I believe that although education is very important, and it is our job as teachers to teach them, it is also our job to be these students and parents advocates regarding their child. I have served and represented this community in many different ways throughout my lifetime and I hope and pray you allow me to serve the people of our community one of the most important ways, teaching them to become productive members of our society.
