Welcome!

Hey! My name is Lauren Smith. I am a teacher candidate at Brock University! This blog will be documenting my journey in the teacher education program, as well as a tech class I will be completing this semester.  If you'd like to learn some more about me feel free to follow my "About Me" page on Pinterest!

In my last tech class we created a Passion Heart Map. This allowed me to document some of my overall passions. As you can see below, I have many passions (most of them being food, and napping), oddly enough I did not add education. Weird, right? I think I was trying to think of my passions outside of education. I have been in the concurrent education program for 4.5 years now, so of course education is also a passion of mine! I am so excited to be able to get out into the 'real world' and into a classroom of my own, or teach in some sort of capacity!

One thing that I truly believe all people need (especially at 8am in the morning!), is a great pep talk. One video I have seen multiple times, and loved each time is the Kid President Pep talk video. One thing that I think I can lack at is Pep talks for myself. I love giving them to other people, but struggle with myself. So if you are like me and need a good Monday morning pep talk, here you go!



Overall, this blog will be a way to document my journey through my teacher education program, practicum, as well as my future endeavors. 
Thanks for joining me on my journey!
