Daniel Gamboa
Teacher
I did not choose to be an educator... Education chose me. However, becoming a teacher is a decision that I will never regret. Every day I go to work knowing that I can make a difference for some people. I use all my creativity and knowledge to design lessons and activities that inspire young learners. I keep myself updated with their current interests and trends, so I can incorporate them to my planning to ensure engagement. I rely on technology because I know that is what they like and it is the world where we are heading. At the end of the school year I look back to the learners that I received and the ones that are about to leave my class and I see the reward to my hard work and dedication. Teaching is more than a job... It is magic.
