Educational Autobiography
1995-Born to a Kindergarten teacher and mailman from a small town of Jamestown, Tennessee
Growing up in rural Jamestown, TN
Living with a both parents and 2 brothers
Living what most people would call the "perfect life"
1999-2000 would attend my first formal educational experience at Faith Baptist Tabernacle for Preschool Education
Fondest Memory was receiving "Miss Busy Bee" award
My parents were supporters of the academics as well as the biblical standpoints being taught to me at a young age.
2001-2013 I would enter a public school for the 1st time and remain in a public school setting from Kindergarten to 12th grade.
9/11- This event changed my life in 1st grade and has seemed rather never ending since the world is still dealing with issues from this event.
During grade school, I was involved in basketball, 4H, Student Council and many extra curricular activities that were beneficial to the opportunities and life lessons it would help to teach me.
I was salutatorian of my graduating class of 8th grade as well as my senior graduating class. My grades were always so important to me and my parents taught me to strive for good grades and the things that would help me be successful in life.
NCLB was something that I was apart of at a public school, so I can remember doing state tests and hearing about NCLB. Education has already changed and NCLB has been transformed to ESSA.
I can remember being in 7th grade and the schools in this rural town began having issues with people complaining about The Ten Commandments being posted in the schools. This was my first eye opening event of realizing not everyone supports Jesus.
2013-2016- I would attend two post secondary schools. A community college that I attended had a campus in my hometown, so I choose to attend that for 1 year to complete my Associate of Teaching before transferring to TTU.
Once at TTU, my favorite part was the final semester and being able to work with a mentor teaching, before I would begin teaching on my own. It helped me realize how real life classroom teaching would be, something I do not feel like undergraduate classes prepare you for.
Present Day- I am now working as a second year teacher at my alma mater, Alvin C. York Institute where I teach Algebra 1. I love being a teacher and being able to help students and mold minds. I feel like educational philosophy is a soft spot for teachers because we can see the true benefit of things that work and things that don't work, where as most professionals and decision makers aren't in classrooms daily seeing students performance.
I am currently enrolled again at TTU where I am working on my masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have enjoyed my classes for my masters much more than I did undergraduate classes just because I've been able to look at different topics and see things from a different mind set than before. I love being able to learn new things and use them next day in my classroom with my students.
I never want to stop learning and always look forward to my students seeing that hard work does pay off and help you accomplish dreams and goals that you have for yourself.
Since graduating, I have checked so many goals and ambitions off my bucket list and I know that without educations and the people and situations that influenced my educational experience none of those things would have been possible. I've been so blessed! :)
In my school, you have those kids that don't believe in religion and only believe things based on how they were raised and sometimes it does make life as teacher difficult, but I work really hard to maintain my status as a Christian even though I never display my beliefs of being a Christian. I just want to show my students a lifestyle of being respectful and working hard. I feel like religious beliefs are an issue in education today and I don't see that issue going away.
Overall, I would classify my philosophy would be to make a difference in the lives of all children and prepare them to make a positive impact in the future and be able to be successful and provide for their own living.
Respect
Hardwork
Determination
