Welcome, this months newsletter serves as an

Educational autobiography:
I think I may be the true definition of a daddys girl For a long time growing up it was
just my dad and I. He has worked for Atlanta Public School System since I was a baby. Following
him around the schools shaped my obsession with being in a school building. During the summers as
a little girl I remember I would gather text books that I could barely carry and pretend I was teaching
a class. I loved to write on the boards and organize things in the classroom as if I was preparing for
the school year. There was a GeoSafari globe in one of the media centers that I was obsessed with
and although I could barely pronounce the words I was excited to learn. Oddly enough, during that
time I would tell everyone that I wanted to be a police officer when I grow up.
In my early school ages my dad introduced me to sports. He sparked my passion for
sports. I participated in four sports during elementary school. I developed a competitive attitude. My
early education was rocky at times, I struggled with mathematics. I remember my dad making me
recite my multiplication facts every day, it was dreadful. He knew it was important so he would carry
me to some of his friend who were teachers to help me if he was unable too. I was inspired.
My dad got married and our family grew. My step-mom influenced my life tremendously.
My sister and I were taught that education is first and athletics is second. Middle school was fun; I
had a sister who I could share ideas with. We always completed our school work together. Reading
was and still is her favorite hobby. During that time she loved Harry Potter. I would always pretend
that I was interested but I honestly I did not care to read those phonebook size stories. It was
interesting, because I did begin to enjoy reading more. I started to collect magazines.
My most memorable teachers were my high school teachers. It was during my high
school years that I decided that I wanted to be a teacher. My teachers supported me not only in the
classroom but also during athletics. I recall one of my mathematics teachers calling my most almost
every day to give her a report on day. My senior literature teacher helped me expand my appreciation
for literature. My interest in reading increased. Everything at the time was enjoyable, I was excited
every day to go to my literature class. My joy for learning blossomed into a discipline in high school.

Things changed drastically. After receiving a scholarship to play basketball in college I found myself loosing focus in my school work. I did learn, however
my study habits took a backseat to my passion to play basketball. My bad habits caused some disappointments. I wish I hadnt been so lazy during my earlier years in
college. I then took two years off to regroup. I learned how to feel free and then I re-enrolled into college. I realized that true learners never stop learning .
Teachers wear many hats and my journey of self-discovery has increased my enthusiasm to guide, stimulate learning and growth, and provide an opportunity
for self-discovery for my students. I am still a daddys girl although much has changed to this day from wanting to be a police officer in the 1990s.
