I received this award, following my final year of lacrosse at the Midget level. The award is given to the player who best exemplifies sportsmanship, lacrosse excellence and commitment to the game. I have included this in my portfolio because it demonstrates my commitment to sport and leadership qualities.
Participation in sport has been an integral aspect of my learning experience; one learns how to work within a team, and receive both positive and negative feedback. Most importantly , sports have helped me gain confidence, self-esteem, and something to be passionate about. I believe that a well-rounded teacher must be passionate and confident in their interactions with students. I believe there are many aspects in the teaching profession which mirror the leadership qualities within a 'team.
