About Me!

 

Why Teach? 

    Growing up I always knew I wanted to be a teacher much of that reasoning is due to my mother who's been a teacher ever since I was born. Seeing her in her classroom decorating and forming a bond with her students has always intrigued me. I would always fluctuate between being a pediatric nurse or being an elementary school teacher because both jobs involve working with kids which I consider myself good at and is something I love to do but even when questioning myself about whether or not I was going to be a nurse I always knew in the back of my mind that I was made for teaching and made my decision the beginning of senior year.

    I am looking forward to teaching elementary level with second grade being the grade I'd like to specifically teach. I can't wait until I get to build a safe community in my classroom and have the special connections with each student like my mom did. I also look forward to helping the future of our country and basically being the backbone of society!

About Me!

    My name is Aliyah President (cool last name I know). I am from a semi small city called Temple, Texas located about an hour north of Austin and 30 minutes south of Waco pretty much in the eastern middle of Texas. I am 18 years old and am a freshman at TXST. I love love love to read my favorite book right now would have to be "A little life" super sad story but very much recommend it. My favorite show is the office and my favorite movie is Titanic. If you look at my arm in the picture you can see I am pretty muscular that is because I did gymnastics for 8 years and then did high school and competitive cheer for 6 years so for a majority of my life I have been able to walk on my hands. I am so excited to be a teacher and cannot wait for everything this class has in stored! <3






It's 2022, why are schools still segregated?

     Still in 2022, there has been a lack of progress when it comes to schools with a majority of minority students. Almost six decades ago,...
