About Me! :)

My name is Sarah Murray, and I'm a sophomore here at Boise State University. I am majoring in Elementary Education. I would LOVE to teach first or second grade. I love children around first and second grade the most because they are becoming more independent, and really starting to learn. They're learning a lot of the core concepts that will take them through their education.

I am very interested in teaching because I realized how much of a difference teachers can make in a student's life. Teachers have been some of the most influential people in my life besides my family. One of my teachers in particular helped me to realize that I wanted to pursue teaching as a profession. My second grade teacher was so fun! I remember lining up at the end of the school day and giving her a hug or a high-five as we walked out the door. She also had us singing a cheesy little song before we went to lunch. It's been years since I've been in second grade, but I remember most of that year like it was yesterday. My teacher had such a huge impact on me. She made me want to learn and do my best. She was very creative and made learning a fun and exciting challenge. I want to be able to leave that kind of impression on my future students.

Like I said, I'm a sophomore at Boise State. I'm excited about this school year. I have 3 education classes. It's so nice to finally take classes I'm interested in. A couple little tidbits are I absolutely love figure skating! I started skating about 5 years ago when I needed something to do during the winter. I fell in love with it! Skating is a constant challenge. There's always something new to learn and something to improve upon. I also love taking vacations and spending time with my family. This summer we went on a road trip to New Jersey to visit relatives. We went through many different states, and explored new places. We saw Mount Rushmore, Lion King on Broadway, and the Mall of America. It was a great trip. So, that's basically me! :)
