Get outside!
Learning in a classroom is very important but I also think it is just as important to get outside and learn about where you live and what lives around you. I chose this quote because I believe you can learn just as much about yourself outside when you're exploring and experiencing things first hand. It doesn't matter what age you are I think outside learning is necessary and beneficial in many ways.

Why I Went into Teaching
I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl. I used to pretend to teach all my stuffed animals lessons about every and anything I could think of. I used to think that the only reason I wanted to be a teacher was because my parents were both teachers and many other members of our family taught as well. But that just wasn't the case!
I have always loved swimming and swam competitively for many years so naturally at the age of sixteen I got my Swim Instructing certificate along with my Lifeguarding certificate. I have been teaching aquatic courses since then and have loved every minute of it. It wasn't until I started volunteering in a French Immersion Kindergarten class that it finally hit me that all I wanted to do was become a teacher. Now here I am in the Elementary Education Program just itching to get out there and teach teach teach!
