Introduction:
My name is Kayla DeFrenza and I am a junior at Dominican University. I am studying Secondary English Education and Theatre. I will be doing my semester of student teaching in the Fall of 2016. I participate in many of the plays and musicals at Dominican which keeps me extremely busy. I enjoy acting, singing, spending time with friends and family, and going to new restaurants. I would like to work in a high school and teach English, acting, and direct productions at the school. I would also like to further my acting career and participate in more productions.
Why I am Pursuing Education:
I believe that teaching people is one of the greatest gifts to give. I love helping and providing for people, thus the field of education is a great way to do so. When I am an educator I will make it clear to all of my students that they come to me for any type of help or support. I will supply them with the tools they need to be successful in the literary or theatrical world. These two subjects will allow the students to be successful in many other areas as reading and writing are found in every concentration. My background in theatre will also allow my students to better understand themselves and gain more confidence when speaking or performing in front of people. I would love to share my knowledge with others and help them succeed.
