Teacher Journals: Alan

I was born and raised in North Carolina. This past May I graduated from college, with a major in English and a minor in creative writing. I am currently doing my student teaching at a high school in Boston.

I became interested in teaching after working for a summer at a youth center in New Jersey. The following summer, I worked as an educational policy intern for North Carolina's lieutenant governor. These two experiences profoundly shaped the way I view education, and I cannot imagine entering a more challenging and enriching profession than teaching.

My strongest professional interests lie in urban education, and eventually, I would like to return to the South to teach high school English and coach varsity football and basketball.
