Why I Chose Education
From a young age, I was captivated by the joy and wonder that comes with learning. At just six years old, I admired how my own elementary teacher created a nurturing environment where curiosity flourished and creativity thrived. I was inspired by her ability to make each day a new adventure, and I knew then that I wanted to be that guiding light for other young minds. The idea of shaping the early experiences of children and helping them discover the world around them sparked a passion in me that has only grown stronger over the years.
