My name is Kailey Jeffries and I am from Carthage, Missouri. My major at Pitt State is Elementary Education and the grade I would love to teach is kindergarten. My favorite things to do are shopping, watching Netflix, being outside, playing sports and hanging out with family and friends. I don't think I am amazing at art or drawing, but I do believe I am creative in different ways. I think everyone is creative in their own way. I put a tree as my image because it tells you that I'm not an extraordinary art person, but I do remember drawing trees a lot when I was younger because I thought I was pretty good at it. I am really good with people and kids. A big reason why I want to be a teacher is because my first day of first grade was the very first time I had every been in a school before with so many kids and people. I was home schooled in kindergarten, so I hadn't experienced that very first day of school like everyone else had. When it was lunch time all I remember was sitting at the table crying because it was so loud in there. Then Ms. Robbins came up to me and brought me outside where it wasn't as loud, then she took my ketchup and made a smiley face on my cheeseburger. She made a scared little girl stop crying and calm down for a while. I looked at school in a different way after that. That is why I want to be a teacher, because Ms. Robbins took the time out of her crazy day to help me fell better. I want to be that person for these kids, make them want to come to school and get through those bad days.
