Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Young
Mrs. Young never thought she would be in the military. Mrs. Young had already become a teacher before she went into the military. Mrs. Young was watching the events that happened on September 11th with her students when she decided she wanted to be in the military. Mrs. Young wanted to help people and make a difference. “You don’t know how much you can do until you go out and do it.” Mrs. Young got to meet a lot of new people she wouldn’t have met and learn about diversity. Mrs. Young also learned about the importance of not only defending other people but also defending yourself. Mrs. Young definitely recommends others to join the military because it teaches real world skills that you should learn before you go into adulthood. It can be very rewarding for young adults.
