An educator’s role is to ensure that the next generation is ready to assume roles in society. I will run my classroom in a way that caters to each student’s individual needs. Children are all very unique and all learn in their own ways. It is up to the educator to provide various means of learning in order to reach every student. I will also create a learning environment that provides students a classroom in which they feel safe to express themselves. In order to learn, students must feel comfortable and welcome where they are. Education is the key to a brighter future.

I created a symbol that represents a relationship that I have with my friend using tools in illustrator. The colors and symbols used represent aspects of our friendship. The blue background symbolizes out trust and the security we give each other. The hands in the middle show that we are supportive of each other. The yin and yang along with the magnet show that although we have opposite personalities, we stick together and form a great bond. The lock represents the trustworthiness between us. The heart is outlined in balance beams since we met in gymnastics. They are green to represent that we look to help each other grow.
