In becoming a future teacher, one of the many lessons I have learned thus far is to connect with your community members. Whether it be those in your cohort, those in local schools, or your teachers, all play a huge part in your learning and your success. I hope to continue making lifelong connections as I progress through the education program and navigate towards my career!
