A Bit About Me...
I am Virginia Grant, a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and currently a student at University of South Alabama. I am pursuing a career in Elementry Education. Teaching has always been a dream of mine, my mother was a teacher and inspired me to want to do the same. I am a wife and mother of twin daughters. Continuing my education while managing a family at the same time has not always been easy but I feel that in the end it will make me a better teacher. I look forward to my graduation and the beginning of my career as an educator.

All Students Are Not the Same
I believe that as a teacher you will be faced with students who come from different beliefs, lifestyles, families, and ethnicities. The important, yet difficult thing, is to strive to teach all students while understanding that they are not all the same. Many times, school curriculms and standardized tests are based on the knowledge of a middle class white child. However, not every student in America is from a middle class, white family. As a teacher, I will strive to teach students in a way that is culturally appropriate. Ultimately, I would like to inspire studetns to think on their own and make their own decisions. This will prove a chalenging task, but every student has a right to form their own beliefs, even if they are not necessarily my beiefs.
