As a child, I always had a desire to make an impact. Being a young woman from a Muslim household, I witnessed my father face a lot of injustices and it made me want to do something where I can make a change in the world. I wanted to make an impact in my community and be a part of something that can give hope and inspire others to stand up against injustices and inequality. Teaching has become my road map to doing that. Growing up, I loved working with children and enjoyed tutoring children who needed extra support in reading and writing. At the age of 22, I first entered the classroom setting and had the opportunity to work with 2nd graders. I was overjoyed to be able to actively see the difference in teaching styles from when I was a child to how hard teachers work to provide quality education to our children today. I am excited to continue working in education and work on bettering myself as an educator and a human being so that I can continue to make an impact on my community and provide quality education to the future leaders of our community and society.
