The teacher in me.

My name is Cheslei Cambron and I am so excited to be a teacher candidate this spring at Jacksonville State University! Every since I was a child, I have always dreamed of becoming a Kindergarten teacher. As I got older and looked into different careers, I decided that nothing would make me any happier than spending my days with children. The main reason I chose this career path was because of so many inspirational teachers through my school years. Through elementary, middle, and high school I always had several teachers who really cared about me and wanted me to learn as much as possible, cheering me on the entire way. Some children are not blessed to have understanding and loving people in their lives, and teaching opens up a door for them to feel welcomed and wanted. Every child deserves to know someone is proud of them...& what better coach  than the head of the classroom? If you are ever having a bad day, have a conversation with a five year old and your bad mood will change instantly. Children are the perfect example of innocence and true happiness. I know when I am able to walk in my own classroom, I will wake up every morning excited about going to work. Teaching is not a job...it's a passion.
