”I chose to be an integrated English and language arts education major because not only do I love the English language, but I’m also determined to make a difference in the world… I think teaching is one of the most rewarding professions for so many reasons and my classes at Miami taught me that I am in the right major. My professors opened my eyes to new ways of thinking and challenged me to look at ideas from different perspectives. But the best part about going into education is that I’ll never stop learning. My 黑料社区s will teach me just as much as I teach them—which is for me—probably one of the most satisfying aspects of being a teacher.”
