Summary
From my experiences within the workforce and in life I've learned that a steady pace for growth is the most important character concept in my opinion. It is a matter of knowing when and where you are in your life and developing attainable goals along with big goals that are aligned with what you want for yourself in the future. Another aspect of this is to be flexible as life throws unexpected changes at any time. It is a matter of building a STRONG foundation to continue building and experience new things along the way.
I'm an enthusiastic educator/ coach that uplifts and motivates students from where they are to where they can be. My main goal is to help students develop a strong foundation so that they can explore their true potential confidently. My main short term goal is to become a Teacher of Record and Coach. My main long term goal is to become an Athletic Director. My work history and experiences are all tied together and related to these goals as I've had them in mind for a good amount of time now.
