My name is Megan Janzen, I am currently a third year student at the University of Lethbridge. I am pursuing a combined B.Sc./B.Ed with a major in math education. Upon starting my third year, I was accepted into the Faculty of Education, this is a big step in my education as I get to work with students, learn about some of the behaviour students have, and learn and develop prior knowledge about my profession and what it takes to be a 'great' teacher.
My educational goal is to graduate and then go on to getting my masters. Mathematics is a passion of mine; however, I know it is not easy for all, but I strongly believe that all students have the ability to learn and be successful not just in math but in every subject. Coming into the teaching profession I see a great importance in teaching students in the ways they learn best and can successes, with this I see a value in being flexible and being able to change the way I am teaching in order to help the students. My family heritage is Scottish, Irish, and Ukrainian. However, I was born in Calgary, Alberta and lived there for 18 years, before moving to Lethbridge for school where I now live 8 month out of the year. Before coming to the University of Lethbridge I had been to three school in Calgary Alberta,and graduated from Rundle Academy which I attended sense grade 5. The support that the teachers at Rundle Academy provided me and the confidence they had in me and helped me develop in myself plays a large role in my drive it becoming a teacher, because I want to play the role they did for me, for someone else. My hobbies include playing lacrosse, basketball, swimming, snowboarding, camping, snokling, , and walks in the woods. An interesting fact about me is that I am said to be one of the best female box lacrosse goalies in Alberta. I have also completed all of my lifeguarding certification. My family consists of my mother, father, and younger brother. Family is very much apart of me and I believe is very important to have. This is a grimpse of who I am. References:
