Welcome To The New Year!
Miss Alyssa Pierson
FACT: I love a good belly laugh.
My name is Alyssa Pierson and I am attending Rowan University as a Education: Subject Matter Math student. Although my life can be quite stressful working and going to school, both full time, I enjoy the little things in life. I enjoy smiling, laughing, making water come out of my nose. I believe in horoscopes based off of your zodiac sign; I am a gemini and we are known to have two personalities, so although I love to have a good time, I also believe hard work and dedication takes you farthest in life.
VOLLEY
I started playing volleyball in high school, went on to play in college, and continued my career by coaching high school boys for the last two years.
PENNY
This is my adorable puppy Penny. She loves belly rubs, eating my shoes, and running on the nature trail.
ROWAN
I am a recent transfer to Rowan and it has been great! I lost passion at my old school and needed a fresh start, I was happy to find it here!
Views on Education
I changed my path from business to education because I believe in the future, and students are the future. We live in a world that is constantly changing, and being a teacher I accept the challenge to be a lifetime learner and acknowledge that not only am I there to teach them, but I can learn from them as well. A lot of people think it is impossible to add literature into a Math class, they are wrong! My goal as an educator is to show how math can be introduced into any subject using literature. I have attached a poem about prime numbers from Henry Baker on TED Talks to show it is possible to combine math in poetry.
