I believe in being a passionate person in almost every aspect of your life. For me it all starts with my passion for Jesus Christ. Jesus changed my life when I was nineteen years old when I accepted Him in my life. He has changed my life for the better, and I would be lost without Him in it. The next thing I am passionate about is my family and friends. My family has always been there for me in the good times and bad. I am also passionate about my friends. They are always there when I need to get away from my troubles and just live life. The next thing I am passionate about is sports, especially sports involving Clemson. I have supported the Tigers in every sport ever since I was a kid, through the good and bad times. Clemson sports are a big part of my life and a lot of memories involve the Tigers. I think one of the reasons I am so passionate about all these things is because they are intertwine together in some way form or fashion.
Another thing that I do want to add to my passionate list is teaching. I consider myself passionate about teaching students because I selected that to be my job for the rest of my life. I feel like once I start my teaching career I will become very passionate in helping students reach their future. I want to be passionate about teaching because it is all about the students. I want to see my students grow not only as a student but also as a person. Above all I just want to reach my students to become better individuals. I know every student won’t be going to college, but every student should be able to grow up as upstanding, respectful adults.

I really enjoyed reading this blog and learning more about you as a student and future teacher. I can tell that you have a high-level of self-awareness, especially in terms of the things you are passionate about. All of these characteristics are things that can guide you as you create your classroom community and as you mentor future students. I look forward to reading your future blogs to see how things progress.
