My name is Kelsie Carlson and I am a sophomore attending NNU. I have had a slightly different background from many at NNU. I was born in South Africa and was spent my earliest years in a small African kingdom called Swaziland before we permanently moved to South Africa. I loved my life. I got the best of two worlds - I grew up in a British styled school (with many races represented) but also had a large taste of Africa through the black church that my family were members of. So much of my childhood was an adventure.
I really enjoy sports and being active. I like to socialize, to be involved in clubs, and to do well in school. Children are also another passion that I have and so naturally teaching goes hand in hand with that. God also plays a major role in my life and I feel like teaching is one of the gifts that He has given me.
I want to teach because I want to inspire children. I want to love on them and boost their self esteems. It is my goal to help children believe in themselves. I also like to explain things and watch the light in young minds turn on. The age that I am most interested in teaching are grades 3-5 because many of those children are beginning to question their identity.
