Day to Day
I teach four different classes every day. I have to prep for all four, but thankfully two of them are the same, so I keep them on the same page. I also check in with students and help them when they walk in.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Take classes that fit your interests in high school. Maybe you'll discover a passion for something you'd never think of! I took a marketing class solely because I had the teacher for my study hall and she encouraged me to register for it. Turns out I loved it.
