Philosophical Biography
I realized God’s calling for me to become a teacher my sophomore year at Calvin College. I was pretty sure growing up that I did not want to be a teacher. This was because both of my parents were teachers, and I thought I wanted to be something else. God knew better. He directed me to education, and I have been thankful ever since. I love teaching middle school students. I love the energy they possess and the curiosity they have. I can not see myself teaching anywhere other than in the middle grades. Teaching at a Christian school was the only option for me. I love God, and I don’t know that I could teach without being able to share this with my students daily. I love sharing and discussing my faith in Jesus Christ with my classes. I count it a privilege as well as a responsibility to teach every subject area from a Christian perspective.
