After four years of attending undergraduate classes at Manhattan College, it is safe to say I have learned so much about myself not only as a future educator, but also as a person. While mastering my content, I have also been exposed to the necessary components for building a classroom community that promotes personal and group growth. I have constructed lesson plans, completed field experience, and most importantly, reflected on all of my progress within these activities. As my final year comes to an end, I am proud to say that I have grown into the teacher I hoped to be.
