Learning Interests

        As a child, I was always interested in learning new things.  I knew from a very early age on that education was the key to freedom.  I would watch the Discovery Channel, the History channel, and KERA--the local PBS station.  I also enjoyed watching the news, and, eventually pursued a bachelor's degree in Broadcast News Journalism.  I  realized that being the best at something may not always be your first passion.  While in college, I loved to tutor and help people with their homework.  I decided to reroute my career and become a teacher.
        Just as I was very much interested in the news reporting industry, children will also have various interests, and I think it's important to keep those interests in mind as they learn from any content area.   I always strive to incorporate the interest of the children in mathematics so that they will stay interested and ready to learn what I am teaching them.
