Teaching

I’ve always alternated between wanting to be a teacher and NOT wanting to be a teacher. When I started college, my intention was to become a middle or high school teacher, but as time went on I realized that was not where my passion was. I LOVED sociology, and I wanted to read, learn, and hear everything there was to know about it. I still, to this day, am a huge sociology junkie.

I’ve spent my time working in both social services and higher education. I’ve never thought I wanted to work in the higher ed sector, but when I was presented with the opportunity to teach a college class next fall, I was almost surprised at how excited I was. My co-teacher just gave me the books we will be using in class, and I honestly cannot wait to dive in and read them, take notes, and start thinking about the discussions I will facilitate with students. It’s making me wonder if maybe teaching really IS where I want to be… just with college students.

I can’t wait for next fall!
