What’s Your Passion?

I am not a teacher yet, but I can honestly say that every elementary teacher that I have met was passionate about teaching and had a big heart for students.  I began graduate school in the wrong field at one point in time.  Even though I was learning and passing every class that I was taking, I was not enjoying the program that I was in.  I then began to think and I realized that I was in the wrong field of interest, business management.  Although, I have a Bachelors degree in business, getting a Masters degree in business was not where my heart was.  I sat down one day and was wondering why I was not happy in this program and it was the simple thought of not following my heart and passion.  I am now pursuing a Masters in Elementary Education and I am enjoying the process of learning every technique about teaching.  My passion is teaching children, what’s yours?   

Children's Book

The book that was read aloud to me that I have always remembered was Curious George goes to a Costume Party.  I believe this book has impacted my life because I find myself searching for clothes to fit me as if I was looking for a costume like George.  This book is basically about Curious George going to a Halloween Costume party and he searches for a costume.  This book touched me as a kid because I was always told that I would be taller than most girls in my class and I knew it would be a hassle trying to find clothes to fit my size.  

Introduction

Hello,

My name is Tomika R. Lewis and I am from Tacoma, Washington.  I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Elementary Education at The University of West Alabama.  I look forward to teaching Math and/or English Language Arts to 3^rd – 5^th grade students.  I choose the teaching as a profession because I have a passion for educating children and the reward that I receive from that is watching them excel.  My long-term goal is initially become a principle at an Elementary School.  Something humorous about me is that when I sneeze, I usually say “Bless Me!” before anyone else can say “God Bless You!”
