I am a student. Learning is my passion, which is one reason I want to go into teaching. I want to pass on my love of learning to the next generation. Idealistic? Absolutely. But if we didn't have idealists, we'd be very short on teachers.
I love school in all its aspects and I always have--I know I always will. I can't wait to go back and get my Master's.
Beyond school, I still love to learn. I read voraciously. I watch documentaries and educational television (Discovery, History, public broadcasting, Food Network [yes I love learning about food]) a lot. I have been known to do serious research at the university library just for fun. Yes, I know I'm sick. And I love to learn about everything--and I mean everything. It was very hard for me to stick with my major (English) all through school, but I did take a lot of electives (if they had a minor in human sexuality at my university, I'd qualify, and I'm one class short of a history minor). I also love to learn about people...and love to learn from people. My best friend's mom says my motto should be: "Question everything."
I know this passion for learning will last me a lifetime--my parents raised me this way and this way I shall remain.
