Be A Role Model

I want to be someone that my students and athletes can come to when they need help. I want them to be able to come to me and talk about problems and issues they are facing in their life. I feel like part of being a teacher is also being somewhat of a counselor, and I think that this aspect is very important and somewhat overlooked. I know that I had coaches that I would talk to and ask advice from. My coaches were helpful and wanted to be a part of my life. Part of who I am today I owe to my coaches for advice they gave me years ago. I want to be a teacher that lives a life that reflects the things that I say I live for. I want people to see a difference in the way I live my life, and ask me what is different about me.
