A Little About Me

Hi everyone!

My name is Meghan Schroeder. I'm a small town girl who loves sports and being outside. I like to try and learn new things, and I'm always asking questions. I'm a junior here at the University of Idaho studying Elementary Education. I love working with kids. I think they're hysterical, and I love the way they view the world. Working with kids is the most rewarding for me when I can help make a difference in their lives, big or small. As a teacher I want to empower my students and encourage them to think outside the box. I want them to seek out challenges instead of shying away from them, and most important I want them to be 100% comfortable with who they are. Children are our future. As I teacher I want to help make a positive impact on the future by sending confident, strong, kind, and intelligent students into the world. In addition to teaching I want to coach high school volleyball and/or basketball considering they were a huge part of my life in high school. It also gives me the opportunity to work with students more and maybe help them achieve their dreams.

I look forward to learning more about Sociology because I believe, much like Psychology, it is very applicable in the field of teaching. For my research I plan to look into sports and coaching as well as technology, considering we're living in such a technological age. I really hope I can find some useful information that can help me be a better person, teacher, and coach in the future.
