Family and Consumer Science Teacher
I teach students about basic life skills—cooking skills, apparel and design, interior design, and financial eduction.
I work from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. five days a week. I get the great opportunity of teaching students to cook, sew, and learn more about financial matters. My typical day, I will have what I call "Food Labs" with students, which involves guiding them to cook in my classroom. My program is project-based, so the students are often working on projects with an end product that they will present to the class.
