The individual expresses enthusiasm about joining an educational environment to support student growth and gain teaching experience. They highlight their previous work, including coaching alpine ski racing for children and leading a maintenance team at an amusement park, skills they believe will be beneficial in their teaching career.
I am looking forward to meeting you and your students, and being a small part in helping your students grow. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work alongside you and gain valuable teaching experience.
Interests
I spend most of my time with either my friends that I have made here at school or my roommates who I have known for many years. In my free time I am an avid watcher of the Blue Jays and Raptor Franchises. I enjoy skiing in the winter, golfing in the summer, and hanging out with my friends.
Schooling
I am currently a student at the University of Lethbridge working towards my Bachelors in Kinesiology and Physical Education.
What Am I Most Excited For About Practicum?
The thing I am most excited for about practicum is going to be getting to see and help the students that I am with grow as learners. I am also looking forward to getting in class experience being a teacher and a mentor after not being able to over the past year and a half.
Work Experience
Over the past 5 years I have had the pleasure of working two great jobs, one primarily in the winter and one in the summer season. Over the winter months I have coached kids aged 8-14 in the sport of alpine ski racing with Calgary Alpine Racing Club. The same club I raced for when I was younger. Over the last 5 summers I have worked as a team lead in the ground’s maintenance department at Calaway Park just outside of Calgary. In this position I oversee a team of 20 high school aged team members and work with them to ensure the cleanliness of all aspects of the park.
I believe having the experience of these two jobs will help me in my journey as a teacher.
Where Am I From?
I am originally from Thunder Bay Ontario
but moved to Calgary when I was 8 years old.
Now I spend most of my days back and forth
between Lethbridge for school and Calgary
during the summertime!
