Do you believe that you are born smart or that you get smart? I believe that you get smart throughout life. Every person is born with a different amount of intelligence. Some may be more naturally smart, but the brain is a muscle. So unless you work to build the brain's strength, it won't reach it's full potential.

Ms. Kailyn Gilliam
Student, JMU College of Education, Secondary Education & English
Where Do You Want To Be In 5 Years: I want to be teaching in a 7th grade middle school classroom. I see myself working with students of all ability, making them become better learners inside and outside of my English classroom. I want to be a teacher who is making a difference in a child's life - in ways of academics, social responsibility, and overall self-confidence.

Favorite Quote: “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” -Ali
