Since I was young I have been playing the role of teacher with my friends and siblings. I have always enjoyed teaching others new things, especially art. Even with my love for teaching I never considered it a career possibility until my teacher in Middle School encouraged me to apply for an art school for high school. I ended up making it into the program and became fully involved with the arts. During the morning hours I would take my core classes, then my afternoons would be filled with different art classes to learn about each different medium and art style.
Senior year rolled around and I took a class which allowed me to go into an elementary school and observe an art class being taught. I later helped out with the lessons and towards the end I finally knew what I wanted to be in my future; a teacher! Now were back to the present.
Here in Oshkosh I currently live in a house with five other girls. It sometimes gets a little crowded but we all make things work. We have all turned into one big family. My close family lives back in Appleton where I am from. Both my parents live there along with our two dogs. I also have a brother and this year he has joined me here in Oshkosh and lives in a dorm. Being able to have my brother around and show him the ropes is so nice and I hope he has just as great of an experience here as I have had.
When I do have free time in my busy schedule outside of school, track and working in the campus art galleries, I like to enjoy the outside weather (at least when its warm, and sometimes the snow too). I also love listening to music while sketching. It is always a nice way to relax and take a break from all the studying and projects.
On a final note, I'm excited to became a teacher and can't wait to see what the future has in store for me.
