My favorite teacher
Hello! Today my blog is going to be about my favorite teacher growing up. I lucked out as a kid. I always seemed to get the nicest teachers anybody could have asked for, so I loved all of my teachers. I don't think there was one teacher that I can truely say that I didn't like. My favorite teacher of all is Mrs. W. This is not her real name but I will call her this to respect her privacy. She was my first grade teacher and I was crazy about her. My mom says that I would come home from school and just go on and on about Mrs. W. and what we did in school that day. I think she was my favorite teacher becuase she was kind, warm, understanding, and the most important...loving. Here is the scary part, while in her classroom she would talk constantly about her son who played football and I would talk about my sister who was a cheerleader. Now she is my sisters mother-in-law, so we are family and I get to see her all the time. I hope one day I can have students say that I was an influence to them just like Mrs. W. is to me.

About Me
Hi bloggers! I am new to the blogging world, so bear with me. I am a 25 year old student at one of the many private universities in Texas. I know 25 sounds old for a student but I have been trying to juggle a job, school, and family all at the same time, so it's taking a while. For as long as I can remember my ultimate goal in life was to be a school teacher. In fact just a few days ago I found a project I worked on in third grade where I was telling everybody how much I couldn't wait to grow up and become a high school teacher. Things have changed a little bit over time. I don't, and I mean I don't want to teach high school. If I had my choice I would teach kindergarten and kindergarten alone. You may wonder how I knew from such an early age that I wanted to become a teacher. Well, it's all about family. I have a wonderful Christian family who is very supportive of everything I do. My parents raised me in a Christian home and church. So, growing up I was in church every time the doors were open. I spent alot of time in G.A.'s, Vacation Bible School, youth group, church camp, and now in my adult life I reside in the church nursery. Outside of church I was a baby sitter. In fact people around my town called me the baby sitting queen. One of the famililes I baby sat for was the Superintendant of our school. As you can tell I have been around children for a long time and I love every minute of it. I feel I have been called by God to show my love through teaching young children. I always say catch them while they're young, so they won't talk back.
