Hello, and welcome to my electronic teaching portfolio. My name is Brittany Waddell and I am currently finishing my degree at North Carolina State University in Middle Grades Education, with a concentration in English Language Arts and Social Studies. I anticipate graduating in May 2013. My time at North Carolina State University has been a rewarding experience, to say the least. One thing that I've learned from my time here is that in order to get what you want in life, you have to go beyond what you thought you were capable of. If you believe it, you can achieve it. Teaching has always been a passion and a goal of mine. I was lucky to have awesome teachers and professors who pushed me to do more, and to do the most. I plan to be one of those teachers.
The theme of my portfolio is No Limits. Throughout my educational career that has been the basis and the motivation. Achieving goals isn't just about getting what you're going after, it's also about forcing yourself to become better, wiser, and stronger so that you can take on even bigger goals. I've learned that there isn't just one way to achieve your dreams. If one way doesn't work, then try another. Throughout life I've always rested on the moral that with hard work and diligence, I will be able to achieve anything. Working with children is something that I've dreamed about doing my whole life.
"Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent, or family member. It may be a friend or a neighbor. Often times it is a teacher" - Joe Manchin
