In the seven years that I have taught Art at O'Hara Park Middle School my primary goal has been to inspire my students to make something they are proud of. Since adding P.E. and History to my teaching practice, my goals for myself and my students have expanded greatly.  I think taking care of our physical health and striving to exceed personal goals is a necessity for a healthy and centered life. Aside from a newfound respect for copies, textbooks, and mastering standards, teaching history has inspired me to look at the world through new and various lenses, and hope that I may encourage my students to expand upon their natural curiosity and delve into vibrant past and distant cultures.
