Describe Your Educational Background

Describe your educational background and your preparation as a teacher candidate.
When I was three years old I was diagnosed with Epilepsy and because of this, I was home schooled. I do not remember a chunk of my childhood, but I do remember learning math also learning how to read and falling in love with it. When I was in fifth grade I returned public school. Going from learning at home to a classroom environment was a challenging transition.. As long as I can remember I wanted to become a teacher. Since starting my education classes for my major I have been taking notes and keeping my education books, because I know I will need these resources even after I graduate. I have learned so much and have been completely inspired by my professors
I have always loved soccer it is my favorite sport to play, and I was able to joined my high school soccer team. I did drama club from sixth grade until ninth grade. I loved being on stage and transforming into a completely different person. I also was involved the 4H fair, I showed cattle for ten years and I also showed sheep, pigs, and horses.

You can tell when a teacher is burnt out, and unfortunately it happens. I never liked classes where the teachers didn’t enjoy their job. You also need to show your passion for learning in the classroom, the more you make learning fun the more students are going to enjoy school.
