- My name is Taylor and my pronouns are she/her/hers.
- I am from Rochester New York.
- I would like to teach 1st grade.
- Growing up I have always been very involved with sports and athletics but I do not play a sport here at John Carroll. Service has also been a large part of my life and I look forward to meeting new friends throughout the duration of the semester.
- My family and friends have always been at the focal point in my life and building up strong relationships with these people has shaped me into the person that I am today. I found this article to be applicable and important to the lives that the majority of us in this class are experiencing as well as something that I greatly value and that is friendship. As we are on our own for the first time, it is important to have people outside of your family to lean on in order to help us shape ourselves into society as an adult and this is something I believe our friends help us do so it is up to each of us as individuals to find those people and create meaningful friendships with them. https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/mfr/4919087.0021.105/?rgn=main;view=fulltext
- For my service learning experience I will be tutoring through the Griot Village After School Program which is for students who are living with their Grandparents.
- I think that in order to take risks in a classroom there needs to be a sense of acceptance, and positive relationships and dynamics between the students with one another as well as with the professor.
- I think that one of the problems facing education today is the divide and quality of education our students are receiving. Poor public schools are not able to teach the same material in the same way that an upper class private school can. Having different climates and expectations in these schools determine the majority of the student’s futures so I believe we need to find a way to level the playing field in schools across the country.
