This first week is all about who I am as a teacher. I teach in a Catholic high school in a suburb of St. Louis, MO. This year is my third year, and I currently teach Environmental Science and Biology. I love love love the school I'm at... and I love teaching science!! But the best part of my job is the kids. They amaze me everyday and keep life "real".
My faith is really important to me, so it is awesome to be able to work and love Jesus at the same time! I am so blessed to have this amazing place to work.. where He is always the first priority.
It's always been hard for me to explain "why I teach". Teaching has always been a part of me... its always been what I wanted to do. And I cannot give enough credit to the amazing teachers I've had along the way, as they've totally solidified this decision.
I hope that gives you a little "snapshot" of who I am as a teacher... I can't wait to read about all the other awesome teachers doing this link up!
hey! I think that you are my teaching buddy! :] I also definitely miss the camaraderie of being in school and having the support all of the time but thankfully my school has really great 'teams' and those are my 'go-to' people. I love those 'keep calm' shirts, too cute!
ReplyDeleteIf you check out my post you will see all about me so i'm not gonna repeat it all here but i'm super excited for us to be buddies through this link up! :]
How awesome that you have someone close in age that you can connect with at work! I agree with Jessica, love the shirts.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to have a teaching friend!! I also love that I get to mix my love for Jesus in with my teaching. I student taught at a public school so this is SO different for me! Can't wait to read more of your posts. :)
