Welcome to Teach for Bliss

Here we go! Blogging for the first time, yet can not wait to see how this tool will help guide me through my schooling and ultimately my teaching career. I am an excited 22 year old who can not wait to start working in a classroom. I am finishing up my last year at the University of Iowa and will soon be on my way to become an educator.

I have been imagining myself as a teacher since I was roughly 10 years old. Although it started with playing "school" with friends and neighbors, this gradually turned into pursuing my education to be an elementary school teacher. I am specializing in language arts and reading and can only hope to impact students the way many of my teachers left a lasting impression on me.

I have 3 energetic, full of life brothers and 2 parents that have shaped me into the person I am today. Without this support system I would be lost! We grew up a very active family playing every sport imaginable, although spending a significant amount of time playing soccer.

I believe growing up in this lifestyle has lead me to another thing I am very passionate about: health. My minor here at University of Iowa is Health Promotion. I have a strong belief in the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in physical activity and healthy eating and look to promote this with the students I encounter.

This blog will serve as a tool to discuss elements of teaching practice- any joys, speedbumps, "aha" moments, frustrations, and much much more . I welcome your input and feedback as part of this narrative of teaching and learning.
