This most definitely semester was one for the books in my learning experience as a teaching candidate. Through Field Experience 1 and the time I have spent with fifth graders at First Street Elementary School, under Mr. Patrick Stelma, I have been challenged to grow in the area of professionalism, teaching English Language Learners (ELL), having confidence in myself and patience with difficult students.

Throughout my past four years at Weddington High School, I am inspired by the impact my teachers have given me. I believe education is the greatest gift you can give to a person who is striving to make a difference. This is something that I have been interested in for several years.
