This term I am taking a class that teaches about creative drama for elementary teachers. Although I have decided to change my major I would have to say that this is the class that I learned the most in this term. I really enjoyed going to this class and that was exciting for me. Tonight as I was finishing up my work for this class I came across this quote and it really stood out to me. I have always known how important teachers are but this quote shows how it should be. I just hope that someday I can be a teacher like this. I hope with all my heart that I dont ever discourage a student the way that I have had teachers discourage me and my hopes. As I get off of my soap box for the night here is the quote:

"It starts with trying to meet the
needs of the children...giving voice to
their individuality, framing their ideas,
and using the power of drama to
excite them..."
-- Anne H. Thurman,
educator and mentor
