Help Emily Reach Nationals in Orlando
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Emily, I'm a senior in high school, and I am raising funds to go to Educator's Rising Nationals in Orlando, Florida.
So how I got to this point was when I decided I wanted to become a teacher, I joined Educator's Rising for Future Teachers. I started my sophomore year and there were no competitions, just cute little meetings about how we can make teachers feel more appreciated. Junior year rolled around and now you can compete in events where you can shadow a teacher or administrator, create a lesson plan, write a children's book, and much more! But, I still didn't decide to compete because I wasn't confident enough in myself to think I'd actually place.
Now this year, my senior year, I decided to compete. I shadowed my Spanish teacher and I actually got to teach a lesson by myself. So I did all of the work, which was an interview, an essay, and a 7-minute presentation. In March of this year, I competed and got first in state! I'm still super proud of myself and can't believe that this is happening; it feels surreal.
So what I need is your help. Anything will help me get there and even if you chip in $5, I'd still be super grateful.
