Basic Information

Hi. My name is Sarah Williams. I first went to Roanoke College, but didn't like it so I transferred and now am a sophomore at ODU. I was born in Greenville, Virginia and have lived there my whole life. If your wondering where that is its 45 minutes South of Harrisonburg. I graduated from Riverheads High School in 2007. I am a history major and either want to become a high school teacher or a college professor. I still have time to decide.

There are a lot of things I enjoy doing. I like to show cattle. My dad is a farmer so I have grown up around them all my life. I also love sports. My favorite is basketball and I am a Duke fan. I also like to play soccer and softball. Another thing that I really love to do is go hiking. I also am a big football fan. My favorite college football team is Virginia Tech and my favorite NFL team are the Steelers.

Educational Philosophy

Right now I'm not exactly sure what kind of educational philosophy I have, but if I had to guess it would be about making sure my students had fun and learned at the same time. I know that sometimes History can be boring, but I would want to find a way to make it as interesting as possible and keep all my students interested. I would also want my students to be very ambitious and work hard. I would want to help them as much as possible and I would do anything to make sure they are reaching their full potential. The biggest thing is I want to be a teacher that knows all or my students name and is close with them. I want to be someone they can look up to.
