Intro
My name is Grace Haughey, I am a junior at Marquette majoring in elementary Education, as well as history. I am from a pretty diverse town right outside of Chicago, and seeing how the teachers I have had throughout my life have made a difference in not only my life, but also others who are less fortunate than me, made me really want to have a positive impact on children’s lives someday. When I was younger, Social studies seemed pointless, and boring, and seemed very forced in the classroom. But as a got older, we started paying more attention to current events, and how they related back to history, and how history related to each and every one of us, and that is what really interested me about the subject. When I am a teacher, I want my class to be fully engaged and interested in the subject, and I want all of them to relate to topics we talk about.
