About Me

I seem to be different from my classmates in the way that many of them are very Ag oriented and although I've lived out in the country my entire life that's definitely not a top priority for me!  I seem to be "girlier" that many of them as well, even though most of the girls in the class did mention that they like to shop.  I am also different in the way that many mentioned that they loved to play sports, and I hate sports!
 
It is always good to realize the differences in people, such as children in a classroom, to kind of understand where they are coming from and to give them the kind of attention and care that they need.  Since everyone is in fact quite different, it is important that we seperate them as individuals and realize that each child is unique and should be cared for based upon who they are, not just cared for as being in a group of many.  The relationship between teacher and student should be somewhat personal so that you can notice everyone's differences and give them the care that they deserve.
