APPLE E-Mail Mrs. Kisamore

My name is Martha Kisamore. I was born and reared in North Fort Myers, Florida till we moved to Georgia when I was 15 years old. I now live in Quitman, GA. I am married; I have 2 boys, Kenneth and Matthew and 1 girl, Jessica and 1 grandson, Aultin James Terrell. I am a senior at Valdosta State University majoring in Early Childhood Education. I have had a passion to teach since I was a child, teaching my baby dolls and stuffed animals.

My mother, a Sunday school teacher, allowed me to help her prepare her flannel graph lessons until I was old enough to teach children's church. In time, I also taught Sunday school and a leader of the youth in my church. I became a paraprofessional and it was there that a colleague began to encourage me to go to college and become a teacher. I have experienced many battles, such as my mother dieing of cancer and other things but finally I am a senior now in my professional semesters. All of the praise goes to God who is my life as a whole. I could not have gone through all the things I went through, if He had not been by my side. During the hardest of times he would reach down pick me up in his arms and carry me.

GOOD

My special interest has always centered on teaching, whether it was in church or school. It is totally unexplainable to describe what it is like to have a child that continuously speaks the words, "I can't get it! I can't do it!" to finally exclaim with a brightness greater than the sun on his face as he exclaims, "I got it!". The experience of seeing the pride in a child's face when he can write his name "all by myself". Then there is the group you’re teaching at the start of the school year who makes failing grades, and has no self-esteem but then they gradually pull themselves up to passing grades. To have a student to call you at home to receive help with his homework but yet he has showed no prior interest in learning. If only I could be the instrument that makes learning happen in a child’s life. I feel this is my purpose and my dream. Also, I enjoy trying to do crafts, sew and make things. I am able to sew, crochet, knit, macramé, embroidery and create different little things. Hopefully this will be something I can utilize in my teaching. Once I am certified, I hope to be able to travel to different places nearby and branch out to further places, even to foreign lands during the summer. Then I can share my experiences with my students.

My other interest consists of God, church, and family. I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior at a very early age and I have lived my life to please Him in everything I do. I attempt to live by His word daily and it sets the way I live, treat others and run my life. Nothing is more important than God. My goal is to go one day soon to live with Him. I'd rather be in church than anywhere else. I am proud of my children. My children have supported me in every way possible in helping me to fulfill my dream of graduating college with a teaching certificate. My children have grown into adults that I am very proud of. Kenneth is finishing up college to become a Pharmacy Technician, Matt is working at a Military Base in Albany, and my daughter is married with the most beautiful baby boy in the world. She took art all four years of her high school and received awards for most of her work. Her goal is to teach blind children and teach them to express themselves in art. With all this what more could you ask for!

THINGS

My Favorite Websites

Teaching Quotes Names This website is very unique in that it gives encouraging quotes. This is something I enjoy to relax and reflect on after a long week with the children.

Church of God I put this website because this is the church I am a member of and it explains the scriptures that I base my beliefs on. Look under history to know how we originated; click on Beliefs/Practical Commitments and Doctrinal Commitments, there are many other aspects to this denomination but this is the foundation.

Valdosta State University I chose this website because this is my college that is preparing me to be a better teacher.

Google Search Engine This is the beginning to a great search for any information you may want to prepare yourself to teach.

Georgia State Parks When summer comes around I hope to start traveling and the state parks is where I would like to spend the night.
