Why I Chose Education
I was drawn to teaching because of the opportunity to make a positive impact on young lives. I find joy seeing students develop a love of learning and discovering new ideas, the "AHA" moments are the best! From a young age, I was motivated by exceptional teachers who instilled confidence and a sense of possibility in me. Their guidance and support directly influenced my success and reinforced the idea that my goals are achievable with dedication and hard work.
