My students are unique, hardworking, and fun to be around. Our school is located in a rural area; however, the majority of my students apply themselves on a daily basis and excel when given the opportunity, no matter their family or financial backgrounds. We have a strong connection with the community as it relates to academics, sports, and other activities. Our school has a strong presence in the lives of those in the area; therefore, impacting many lives. It seems that each day students bring new experiences, knowledge, and challenges to the classroom. I try and let the personalities of each student shine in class and even apply illustrations that relate to the life experiences of the students. This technique allows students to feel more comfortable in class and helps promote comprehension at a higher level. I have had the opportunity to be around many different types of kids, but I have to say that I enjoy being around my students and learn from them daily.
