Lorraine Chasse: I hope to be an inspiration to my family as well as others. I truly love being part of children’s social growth and academic success.
Anne Curry: Although at times the days can be difficult, I find by the end of the year it is a very rewarding experience.
 
Bethann Fabianski: Being able to help students find a love of learning early in their school careers is not only humbling, but a privilege as well. Tracey Giasson: I would like to show my own child the importance of a college education and fulfill my dream of becoming a teacher.
 
Alison Horrigan: My background is in high needs school districts, and I look forward to giving back to children who grew up much like myself.
 
Logan McNamera: My passion and desire to teach and better the lives of others has increased through my work experience.
Colleen Pavao: There has never been a job that I have held in the past that can compare to working in education. Becoming a teacher would mean that I would have a greater opportunity to make a difference in students lives.
 
Jessica Zitano-Pimental: There’s nothing like watching comprehension light up a child’s face. The challenge of breaking down information to its simplest form, then building on that information piece by piece fascinates me.
