My mom says she knew that I was going to be a steward to the environment the day she watched me chase a plastic shopping bag down a parking lot before it blew away. Needless to say, I love Mother Earth! Nature is beauty! It's our job to educate ourselves to live sustainable lives and to protect the environment so that future generations can experience this same beauty. About 2 years ago I became inspired by Laurie David's book "Stop Global Warming: The Solution is You" & decided to change careers & go into education. I wanted the opportunity to reach out to future generations & inspire them to become environmental activists. As I begin my teaching career in the science field, obviously education of my students is my #1 priority, but it will certainly be laced with education about the environment & challenging them to actively be a part of the world we live in. We must be the change we wish to see in the world!!!!
