The attached timeline of educational influences is a reflection upon the people and places that have impacted me. Some of these reflect things that have affected me directly in an educational setting while others have changed the ways that I view the world and thus the kind of teacher I hope to be. Altogether, my experience with these influences have collectively guided me towards a desire to pursue teaching to hopefully create a positive impact within my community. I can not solely restrict my journey to these influences alone, however they are particularly memorable and meaningful to my social and professional journey.
