2
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:08,240
experience in judea is completely 

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,407
different from what I've done before . 

4
00:00:10,407 --> 00:00:12,800
Um I'm used to having class sizes of , 

5
00:00:12,810 --> 00:00:15,380
you know , 30 kids and hear my biggest 

6
00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:17,170
classes 17 . So that's a huge 

7
00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:18,892
difference . I feel like I can 

8
00:00:18,892 --> 00:00:21,114
individually affect each of my students 

9
00:00:21,114 --> 00:00:23,059
a lot better that way . And then I 

10
00:00:23,059 --> 00:00:25,170
think that I also share some personal 

11
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:27,281
qualities with these students because 

12
00:00:27,281 --> 00:00:29,281
I'm also a military spouse so I can 

13
00:00:29,281 --> 00:00:31,114
connect with these students on a 

14
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:33,281
different level than I can just normal 

15
00:00:33,281 --> 00:00:35,448
students in a public school . The most 

16
00:00:35,448 --> 00:00:35,090
important part for me is to be that 

17
00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:37,146
role model for my kids and to make a 

18
00:00:37,146 --> 00:00:39,312
difference in their lives . When I was 

19
00:00:39,312 --> 00:00:41,490
in middle school , I was volunteering 

20
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:44,120
for a Children's camp and there was two 

21
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,260
little girls that got so close to me 

22
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:48,360
that they started calling me mom and 

23
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,304
eventually I learned that they had 

24
00:00:50,304 --> 00:00:52,527
actually recently lost their mom . So I 

25
00:00:52,527 --> 00:00:54,582
became like their mom at this camp . 

26
00:00:54,582 --> 00:00:56,700
And so I wanted to be that person for 

27
00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:58,700
kids throughout my entire life . So 

28
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:00,922
that's why I wanted to make sure that I 

29
00:01:00,922 --> 00:01:03,089
was working with kids and being a role 

30
00:01:03,089 --> 00:01:05,144
model for them . And so that's why I 

31
00:01:05,144 --> 00:01:04,650
went into teaching
