I was born within  a lovely family where both my  parents  were teachers and had education as a first priority in life. Kids in my family were all motivated to reach higher education​. Although I never thought I will  become a teacher but I have always had a significant  way of clarifying  things for others. My capabilties of listening, distinguishing  a student's  strengths and weaknesses, and managing  a study plan had  improved thru my parents'teaching experiences as well as many volunteering tutoring experiences in my school for low achievers students. Years of being a volunteer tutor boosted these skills and endorsed my passion for teaching. I graduated from the Lebanese University in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry then I migrated to the USA and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in secondary education in Wayne State University. Being an immigrant underlined  my eagerness to pursue higher education since this country motivates success. It was so essential for me and my family  to profit from the ample opportunities accessible  in the United States that I did not  have had in my native country, Lebanon.

  Why I    became a    TEACHER?

 

Professional Attributes

Teachers are lifelong learners. Being eager to continually learn and convey the passion for learning to my students is a feature that will certainly support me to become an effective teacher.  I will also try to benefit from all the valuable resources available to me. In addition, I will collaborate with the school staff as well as the parents in order to get the ultimate outcomes from our students and this is a precisely what I did in the course of my student teaching.
