Wow, what an inspiration this woman and educator is…
I have had a chance to meet Kelsey on a couple of occasions during this first semester of the program, and I must say I clung to every word that she said during the times she spoke. The most recent visit she had with our cohort was by far the most memorable. She demonstrated to me what it meant to go through struggles yet still come out on the bright side of things. She told us about her personal experiences in the school setting when she was a student and explained that she did not want to be a teacher when she finished. She wanted to be an RCMP officer instead. I resonated with this soo much because that is exactly what I was planning to do as well. I had it decided in my mind that I would finish school and go straight into becoming a police officer, but boy, did that vision change.
Kelsey’s presentation showed us that things don’t always go as planned and life will always throw curve balls at you but you have to take them in stride and hit it out of the park. She is such an inspiration and role model to me now that I have met her because she is very easy to connect to, and one can clearly see how passionate she is about what she does. I hope that when I become a teacher, I can become half of the inspiration that Kelsey MacDonald is.
