The main purpose

The main purpose of my blog is to use a positive outlook in education. I believe that students, or anyone for that matter, strives to achieve more when they have a positive outlook. I am a firm believer in speaking positive, and building children up with positive words. I would like to use this blog as a place for anyone to go that needs a little encourging.

Welcome

Hi, My name is Kari. I would like to welcome you to my blog. Just to tell you a little about myself, I am happily married and have three girls. My husband and I started our own business shortly after we married. We spend most of our time at church, and I am a sunday school teacher. I was a stay at home mom when my girls were young. I would work with my girls and teach them like we were at school everyday. I love to work with children, so I decided to go back to school to be a teacher. I have been attending SVCC on and off for 11 years. I know that sounds crazy but I took a little break when I had my girls. I am graduating this spring at SVCC and plan to go to ODU. I'm almost there. It has taken me quite a while, however, I know it is going to be well worth it when I receive my degree. I know that it will be worth every moment when I get to help other children. To help teach and prepare them for what the future holds for them. I believe that being a teacher will be the greatest opportunity.
