I believe that every student wants to learn, even though they may not always show the desire. My students are faced with things I could never imagine at their age, and I try to empathize with them and their unique situations. My teaching style has developed throughout my education into what, I think, is very innovative and collaborative. Therefore, I try my best to create lessons where my students can relate the information to their personal lives. I believe this is the best thing we can do for our students. It's my goal to teach them how to APPLY what they learn in my classroom, to the life lessons they learn every day.
