Positivity and hard work would be the best words to describe me. I am always eager to learn and grow. I feel the best way to do those is best way to do that is by listening and volunteering. Principles like these were instilled in my K-8 Catholic School where the foundation of my faith and character began. Another thing that shaped me was growing up in a family of educators. I am nephew of a 2 first grade teachers, the son of a preschool teacher, the brother of a 5th grade teacher, and the Godson to an interpreter for students who use ASL. Through our many conversations I have gained a lot from their shared experiences. I am currently getting my Bachelor's Degree in English with a minor in Early Childhood Development. After achieving this I intend to get my teaching credential where I may pursue my passion for teaching.
