Sarah Joy Anderson
Biographical Information
My name is Sarah Joy Anderson, and I have been teaching for five years.
I have taught 7th/8th grade English, 7th grade Pre AP Life Science, 9th grade Pre AP Biology, 10th grade regular Biology, 11th/12th Anatomy and Physiology, and 11th/12th AP Biology.
What brought me to the
teaching profession? My parents, grandmother, uncle and aunt were all teachers; teaching just seemed to be the right thing to do! But if I had to give a specific reason for why I became a teacher, I
would have to say it was because of my mom.
My mom is an excellent example of what a TEACHER should be. She is a compassionate, patient, encouraging, enthusiastic teacher who loves learning. She always finds a way to make learning fun. (She even has a sneaky way of making you learn without knowing that you’ve just learned something.)
My mom fostered a desire for knowledge in me when I was very young by never brushing aside my questions. If she didn’t know the answer, we would look it up.
On Saturday, we would go to the museum. If we didn’t have any money, we would walk through the park, and mom would tell me the names of the flowers and trees. If I wanted to cut up the frozen hearts and gizzards that came stuffed in our chickens, she would let me.
My mom helped me make the decision to become a teacher. I thought about medical school or nursing but I really just wanted to talk about science. Where else could I share the same wide-eyed
enthusiasm that I knew as a child? I wanted to share all the cool science things I had learned and I want to learn more!
