Who Am I?

   
My name is Lauren Terry.  I am 21 years old and a Junior at Valdosta State UniversityI am majoring in EarlyChildhood Education with my masters in reading.  I was born and raised in the middle Georgia area.  My hometown is Warner Robins, Georgia.  I am very much involved with church activities.  Jesus is everything to me.  I attend Southside Baptist Church.  My family lives in the country on 5 acres.  I am very close to my family and friends.  My parents, younger sister, and our three dogs live at home.  My sister will graduate high school this semester and will be at VSU in the fall.  We are both very different, but enjoy being around each other.  My parents are truly my role models for how I want to live my life everyday and how I desire my relationship with my spouse to be one day.  My extended family is just as close as my immediate family.  The time spent together is very precious to me.  I feel privileged to have a family which is so close.  I believe that without my family and friends I would not be who I am today.  I have a very wonderful boyfriend named Daryl, which I have been with for two and a half years.  I have made many memories with my family and friends.  I have been to the Bahamas, hiked in the mountains, and traveled to the beach each summer.  I enjoy traveling, lying out in the sun, working out, taking pictures, and staying outside on sunny days.  I love collecting children's books!   Creating arts and crafts, scrapbooking, shopping, spending time with friends, and visiting new places are how I spend my spare time.

   Why Educate?

     I have always wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember.  I want to be a teacher so that I am able to be the one person that every child in my class can depend on to have a smile each time they enter my classroom.  I desire to educate because I want to make a difference each day I go to work.  Through educating, I will create an inviting and safe environment for each of my students.  I want to educate so that I am able to be a voice for my students, but at the same time teach each of my students to have a voice for themselves.  I want to be a teacher so that I can learn new ideas right along with my children.  I want to educate so that I am able to encourage my students to get excited about learning for the rest of their educational careers.

My Inspiration

     I believe that throughout my life, my mom has been the one person that has inspired me to want to become a teacher.  I have been raised in her classroom my whole life.  I believe that only recently have I learned to appreciate the relationship that she is able to build with her students that I long to have one day.  I admire her patience and eagerness to participate in new learning strategies.  She has inspired me to follow my heart and be excited about changing the lives of little ones.  I hope that through her inspiration I am able to be an unforgettable teacher just as she has been throughout her years of teaching.
