Spending delightful girl time with my daughter is such a treat! Our conversations are all over the map and our pension for fun keeps us in the thick of things but out of trouble, haha.
Ashley babe has begun her 50 hours of observation and participation during her spring break at our local senior high school and later in the week at the elementary school she and her brother attended. This is in conjunction with Penn State University's curriculum for elementary ed and secondary English majors.
Plum school district has many remarkable teachers who are warm, engaging and inspiring. In fact, Ashley's sixth grade teacher is responsible for her overall love of English as well as several other skilled teachers, throughout the years, for her desire to enter the field of education overall.
This on the go, outgoing, musically talented daughter of ours would literally miss recess in elementary school in order to remain in the classroom to diagram sentences, haha :) And from the moment she learned to read we would catch her in her room at bed time under her covers with a flash light trying to sneak in additional reading time. I like to think that we as a family had an influence over her love of reading as we are all avid readers with a wide collection of books from diverse genres.
Ashley currently serves in our ward as the Primary chorister teaching both the senior and junior Primary children gospel oriented music. This combined with having been a substitute teacher in all of the Primary classes has furthered her love of children and teaching.
She is incensed by the apparent syndrome many junior and senior high school students in the communities, and throughout the world, suffer from tied to low self-esteem. Self-esteem issues are an obvious culprit tied to poor behavior, lack of motivation and ability to excel. Also, low performance, relationship dysfunction, as well as over all divisive decision making which many youth pay the ongoing consequence for.
Ashley desires to attempt to make an impact in her future students lives helping them to enjoy more productive, thriving lives. We are very proud of her drive and her desire to help others experience the blessings which come from personal effort and in having excellent role models in ones life!
I have had a passion, myself, for attempting to motivate and inspire youth. It has been my privilege as a professional speaker to have addressed teens and young adults at over 95 senior high schools and college campuses. In addition, I have spoken at diverse conferences as well as church and community meetings and events. I have enjoyed interacting with youth from throughout the country, last count totaled just over 132,520 young adults in whom I have had the privilege of meeting and addressing.
My focus has always been on helping individuals strengthen ones character traits and self image. I feel strongly that it is through the development of personal integrity and a commitment to God's commandments and principles combined with ones ability to succeed that help both youth and adults thrive. It is such a joy for me to see people learn to experience life to the fullest - trials and all - as their eyes light up and demeanor changes as they strive to reach their full potential. I think my daughter will be very capable as well of helping others and will experience the joy that I have as she strives to impact others lives for good! Perhaps this interest and commitment we share will serve as a family legacy from generation to generation.
So Ashley babe, all decked out in your professional attire, lap top under arm and a blazing smile on your eager face; I wish for you a week of unparalleled success as you begin this journey into the realm of loving, educating, motivating and inspiring many of God's beloved children!
