ABOUT ME...
I'm Ella. I'm 22 years old and have lived in Tauranga all my life.
I love a good adventure and spend most of my waking moments dreaming about parts of the world I am yet to discover. My family plays a huge role in my life and I'm blessed to have a family who loves, supports and inspires me. After leaving school I started a science degree but after discovering my lack of passion I packed up my bags and headed to Europe. This was a time of growth for me and eventually lead me back to my love for children and passion for teaching. A part of me always knew I was made to be a teacher but it wasn't until I traveled and discovered new parts of the world as well as new parts of myself that I came home to Tauranga knowing teaching was for me. Through my teaching degree I have learnt so much about myself as a learner, teacher and a leader. I've learnt life lessons, made friends who I will cherish forever and come to the conclusion that as long as I am fulfilling God's plan for my life, he will provide for me. I've learnt to be fearless in the pursuit of teaching because its my passion and it sets my heart on fire.
This eportfolio is a place I will share and monitor my growth during my last year of training. I will continue to self appraise against the graduating teaching standards as well as the BTI graduate profile and set goals based on the areas I am lacking knowledge in. Above all, it's about celebrating whats good, challenging what needs work and enjoying the journey.
But he said to me... " my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"
2 Corinthians 12:9
