Open Mic

Wow, what a journey these past three years have been! The idea of me being a teacher was never a thought in my mind. I've always wanted to have a positive influence in others' lives. I have always volunteered to mentor and teach in other capacities but I never thought I would have this career. I love impacting young people and encouraging them to pursue their dreams and teaching them life skills to help them become successful. Now, being given this opportunity to be a teacher, and also a student, this has been very challenging. I have never considered myself a "multi-tasker". I am learning to multi-task. I definitely think that multi-tasking is a skill that requires lots of practice and attention. Although, NTI has taught me skills and has given me many tools to be a successful teacher, multitasking is a skill that I have not mastered and a tool that is required. When this journey has demanded more than I had, I have wanted to walk away. I am glad I didn't. I have learned a lot and I will not walk away from the learning opportunities that are ahead of me.
