Summary
Teaching has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. I was born in Russia and adopted at a young age. Because of this I think about the importance of education. I always look back on how my life and educational journey could have gone and I think about how many children do not have access to an education, especially a good education. I want to teach to be able to change the lives of children and give them a strong education. I want to give every child equal opportunities and to fulfill each students individual, academic, and social needs in the classroom.
