Making the next generation better
By Karahn Alston ENG 336
Tabitha is a transfer student to Frostburg State University,
who is majoring in English. Her ultimate goal is to become a high school
teacher in the city of Frostburg. She was in inspired by William Shakespeare, “he
is my hero”. She plans to stay in Frostburg for her career because this is
where she is comfortable, she stated “I would like to continue my career where I received
my education”. She has a very strong
relationship with her family members. Tabitha is an individual that uses the
children in her life as fuel to strive for better. Growing up, Tabitha was the person
that younger individuals seemed to always be “that leader or adult” to look to
for guidance, comfort, and care. The fact that she values caring and teaching
the younger individuals in her family and community helped her find her love in
teaching. Her motto of, “family first no matter what” has became a vital part
in shaping her mentality. This mentality can be beneficial in her classroom by
helping remind her that building and maintaining a strong relationship with her
students can bring the best out of them. Being a teacher involves a tremendous amount
of work that would need to be accomplished, both inside and outside of the
class room. When Tabitha wants something in life, she does not hesitate to go
get it. She has worked at various establishments, so hard work is not something
foreign to her daily life. A few employment positions Tabitha has held include,
working for HR Block, Americore, and being a driver for the Center of
International. Her multiple professional
experiences have made it easy for her to adapt to various career fields. Being
a driver for the Center of International benefited her love to travel. She has
lived in San Francisco, California, Oregon, Texas, and now, Maryland. By having
the experience of living in various places throughout her lifetime, and coming
into contact with so many different individuals and their cultures, Tabitha is
no stranger to adapting to an environment. She has also traveled
internationally. So far she has been to visit Greece, but she would love to add
Australia, Ireland, and China to her list of places that she has been able to
visit. Because of this, Tabitha will be able to relate with students from various
backgrounds and cultures and having a great career in teaching.
