In honor of #TeacherAppreciationWeek2020 I would like to thank a few teachers that helped me not only become the person I am today but the type educator I hope to become over my career. I would like to give a special thanks to my first major influence to jump into this career
I fully understand club sports and the purpose behind them. My own kids play and will continue to play in these types of programs. My issues is this: Please stop making kids feel guilty for trying to be a valued member of their high school programs in a different sport! What I am sick of, is clubs expect high school teams to always work around their big events, but if the club is asked to work around the HS program, the kids are threatened with no longer being on that team, or even better, told they can’t be on a certain team next year if they miss a particular tournament. There is value in club sports, especially as far as individual skills and competition level. There are also lessons in HS sports that cannot be taught in club, like playing in front of 2,000 fans in an emotional environment, with your towns name across your chest. There is value in learning how to perform in those types of situations and the pressure that comes with it! Student sections rushing the floor after huge wins are memories kids deserve to share as well! Just tired of the guilt trips and ultimatums that are forced on these kids as their careers continue. We are all in the kid business and must make them a priority physically and mentally. We must continue to find ways to work together in this arena , while promoting the idea that kids can play multiple sports if they choose to, and be encouraged by both sides to do so!
Please don't remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas. These classes are just as important for overall education and may be their favorite classes and one of the reason they actually enjoy school.

1 year ago I was finishing up my first placement for student teaching. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had and I truly learned a lot from the wonder health and physical education teachers at wheeling park high school. Truly something I will be forever grateful for.
I am today. Getting to work at my old high school has been a dream of mine for so long so getting to live that dream while doing something I’m passionate about has been unreal. I can’t wait to see what wonders come next.
As my first semester as a full time teacher comes to an end this week I would like to take the time to reflect. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I have met some wonderful people as well as gotten to work with some of the teachers that helped me become who
