About Me
My name is Bethany and I'm a junior here at ODU studying to be an Pre K-3 teacher (IDS major) and getting a psych minor. I am originally from Northern Virginia and relocated to the Hampton Roads area this past May. I work for the YMCA and am a nanny part-time. In my free time I try to spend it with family and friends.
Personal Philosophy
My personal philosophy is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I want to prepare myself to handle whatever life has to throw at me and I want to be able to enjoy when good things happen to me and to the people I love.
Educational Philosophy
My educational philosophy is to use what I've learned during my time as a student and my experiences working in the education field to help create and mold the future of the world.
Well Bethany, welcome to the area. Hope your enjoying your move so far. And i see that you work for the YMCA; thats pretty cool, i did some comunity service at the mount trashmore location a little while back. I like your personal philosophy, "prepare for the worst and hope for the best", i'd say its a pretty good motto to have. You never know what this worlds going to throw atcha, best to be prepared! I also think you have a pretty good Educational Philosophy as well. Teaching is one of those things that deffinetly can influence the world. Hopefully you use your influence to arouse positive change and growth in your students! Good luck to you!! GageGkapp001 (talk) 22:10, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
