After attending college I began my teaching career, I taught middle school student for the next five years. For the last nine years I have taught at the high school level, where I have taught various history courses including Advanced Placement in all of the following: United States History, World History, and European History. I became a teacher because I wanted a job that did not fell like a job everyday with a rigid routine. What I have learned over the years is that each group of students is unique and I most enjoy the end of they year when we can reflect on the journey they took to achieve their success. I am most proud when my students tell me that I made them understand History and they previously saw themselves as bad history students. The reality is history is meaningful to everyone, but it is the teacher's responsibility to help the students make the connections bringing the past to life.
