I have had a very long and positive educational background. My mother is a 7th grade English teacher and she has had a very positive impact on my educational career. Teaching has also been something that I known I have wanted to do from a very young age. When I was little I would love to go to my mothers class and sit behind her desk and pretend to be the teacher. Teaching has opened so many doors for me throughout my life. I have met some wonderful people and professors in my educational program at Suny Plattsburgh. I have had the pleasure to observe over 60 hours of teaching, and observation and Plattsburgh High School.

Throughout my college career I have been lucky to take many classes that I have really enjoyed. Since I am a history major I had to take some pretty difficult courses that included lots of papers and reading. However, I love learning new history so the reading did not bother me that much. Some of my favorite classes were a history class on Judaism, another history class on East Asian civilization. I took more classes that I did not know much information on, and I wanted to gain more understanding of that time period in history. I also have taken about 12 to 15 credits of political science classes. I have also had an interest for politics and how our government operates. I really enjoyed my sociology and psychology lessons. I think it is really interesting how people think and interact with one another. Classes that I have not enjoyed are any of the math courses I had to take. I am terrible at Math and hate doing anything that is related to Math. However, I would have to say that I have been very fortunate to take many wonderful classes at SUNY Plattsburgh.
