"I shed a tear in a ocean once and the day you find it will be the day i stop touching the hearts of students" This quote is adjusted to fit me and my passion for being a great teacher. I was once a kid who was known as the trouble maker; however, with the help of teachers my life made a complete 180 degree turn for the best. I did not simply win the Golden Apple Scholarship; I earned it. I want/will be one of the best teachers and it is not becasue I am the best nor even remotely close, but becasue i have the drive and passion for wanting to change lives for the better. I am far from ready to become a teacher but with the help from Golden Apple i know I have the drive and potential to be ready.
