Introduction to Class

My name is Haley Bryan and I am from Cleveland, Tennessee.  I graduated from Cleveland High School in 2008 and have known that I wanted to be an elementary school teacher since I was in third grade.  I was blessed with an outstanding teacher, Mrs. Elkins, in third grade who went above and beyond to make sure that I succeeded.  She certainly changed my life and gave me a new outlook on the learning process.  I hope to one day change the life of a student or students the way she has done for me.  Even though I always thought that I wanted to be a third grade teacher, my mind changed when I entered the Child and Family Studies PreK-3 program.  I have become rather passionate about the process of teaching children to read and would love to become a first grade teacher.  This is the time when children are learning to read and I would love to be able to help them succeed in this sometime difficult process.  When I am not studying on how to become the best teacher that I can be I enjoy reading, shopping, and spending time with family and friends.
