Letter to the Reader
My name is Alysha Jackson. I am a Biology major with a minor in Secondary Education at the University of Maine in Augusta. I stumbled upon the revelation that I wanted to be a High School Biology teacher after completing my first year of college at the University of Maine at Orono. My original major was Animal Sciences with a concentration in Pre-veterinary studies. After that first year I figured out that Veterinary Medicine wasn't my calling and I decided I still wanted to help people. I then reflected back on the people who impacted me that most and I realized that my teachers were the people I wanted to be like. Starting my Secondary Education pathway was the best decision I have made and I look forward to a long career as a teacher.
