Elevator Speech

Hi. My name is Krista Openshaw. I am currently attending Utah Valley University and will be entering the Elementary Education program there in January. I'm so excited to start the next step in my schooling career. I've held many posisions teaching children in my church, and I ran my own preschool before deciding to get a degree in education. I love children and feel that I am trustworthy. I have many needed skills that people look for in a teacher including being very creative, dependable and extremely patient. I can't wait to be a positive role model to children while they are at an age where they are gorwing, not just physically, but emotionally and socially also. Eventually I would like to teach other future teachers in an Elementary Education program, and help the next generation of teachers learn the skills that are required to be great stewards to their students.
