I'm currently a second year English and English Education major.
As an aspiring high school English teacher, I want to prepare students to succeed out there in the real world, regardless of how they define their own success, through literature in a way that brings both skillful writing and an awareness of the world. This understanding of how the world really is out there is necessary in a society that prefers to remain comfortable, to choose inaction and convenience. When students are shown both the beauty and the injustice in the world, many of them will find a kindness and understanding. Some of them will find a passion to do something about it.
My dream is to create an impetus for change inside (and outside) of my classroom. Here begins another part of the journey to make that dream reality.
