Journey into Education and Teaching
|
Fatima Benjamin: As an aspiring teacher, my intentions are to develop from each child. |
Jeannie Benvissuto: I feel as though teaching is my calling—to help lay the foundation in a positive way for the future education of children. It amazes me when what I have been teaching finally clicks and students "get it!" |
| Sherri Correia: Ultimately, I seek to create an energetic student-centered learning environment where every student may thrive. | Maria Dos Santos: My past experiences have instilled in me the desire to become an elementary teacher. |
| Donna Frank | Helen Gabriel: I am in my fifteenth years as a Paraprofessional. Now I look forward to the opportunity to focus on my education, and to use my many years of experience to become a teacher. |
Bernadette Kelleher: I am currently working with children of severe to moderate special needs. I have expressed my desire be a teacher many times, and I feel very fortunate to be given this opportunity. |
Jennifer Nieves: My experiences with different schools and classrooms have given me the insight to prepare me to become the teacher I eventually see myself being. |
Penny Sullivan: I consider myself so fortunate to be able to go to work every day with children, and I enjoy it immensely. It is very rewarding to see them and have those "ah-ha!" moments when the learning clicks. |
