Experience At Ithaca High School/Future Teachers' Scholarship

I had amazing teachers through the public school system.  I had many caring, creative, motivating teachers that inspired me to become a teacher myself. 

While still enrolled high school, I was able to enroll in a course that allowed me to teach lessons to the in-school preschool.  It was called Tots n' Teens Preschool, and during the semesters I was involved, I planned and taught short lessons, prepared snacks according to dietary guidelines, and learned skills in the teaching profession.  This role confirmed to me that I wanted to be a teacher in a public school.

At the Senior Convocation, I was awarded the Future Teachers' Scholarship from the Ithaca Teachers' Association.
