A Little About Me

Welcome to my blog! My name is Taryn and I am a Salem State University student majoring in Sociology. I am currently taking an introductory education class to help me determine whether or not education might become part of my future. Before about a year ago, I had never considered a career in education. In fact, many people could probably tell you that one of my favorite phrases was "I do NOT want to teach". I began to change my mind however, when I volunteered in a middle school classroom with four academically delayed students. These students lit up my whole world and led me to become a different, better person. Helping them learn and grow was so rewarding that I am back in the same classroom volunteering again this year! :D I have also volunteered in classrooms at the Beverly School for the Deaf and have been learning sign language. This was another experience that opened my eyes to the education world. I want children to appreciate their education like I appreciate mine and I think it would be very beneficial for myself and my future students if I pursued a career path in this field!
