Tierney Cahill- "Living without Fear"

When I heard we had to go to listen to a speaker for class I was not too thrilled. As soon as she started speaking my feelings changed. I was interested in what she was saying and she was a very good speaker. I was able to relate to Tierney Cahill because I want to be a teacher as well. She really cared about her students and you could tell that she had a really good relationship with the students. Her students dared her to try the unthinkable; run for political office. She didnt know much about it but she did some research, and had her students help her out. She didnt win but the experience really changed her life for the better.

I hope that when I become a teacher my students will look up to me. I want to teach first grade because I want to teach kids how to read. I remember my first grade teacher to this day, and because of her I was able to read and continue my education.

I am very scared to ride the Superman Roller Coaster. I have been on many others but for some reason this coaster scares me to death! I think that with the right frame of mind, a hand to hold, and the thought of the bravery of Teirney Cahill, I would be able to ride this roller coaster.
