What makes you so special?


My family. My friends. My experience.

Growing up, I loved being able to help people or teach them how to do something or even to share the knowledge I had. I was always the person that would raise my hand to help with anything because that is the type of person I am.

As I got older, choosing a career path was quite a rollercoaster for me. In intermediate I wanted to be a teacher because I saw the effort one of my teachers put in to help his students and somehow, I wanted to be a person like that, especially with children. I come into this profession with the support and love of my family and friends.

My experience coming from a teacher aiding position has made me a person that has already some background in dealing with certain behaviours in children. I also know already what I want and don’t want to do in my own classroom one day. I have gathered some philosophies that I agree with and support and there are ones that I don’t.
