ENVR 430 has been an enjoyable course that has done an incredible job of educating me about barriers to ecological sustainability and how to be proactive in fighting for a more environmentally-friendly society. Using the knowledge I have gained from this course, I envision a future as a high school science teacher, passing down the insights taught in ENVR 430 to future generations of students. In achieving this vision, I value accountability from myself to make sure I continuously implement these insights into my teaching. To bring about my intended future, I will intervene by job shadowing my former environmental science high school teacher to gain experience, in the hopes of eventually landing a job teaching environmental science at the high school level in addition to general sciences. The image below shows a quote that perfectly explains the type of environmental science teacher I will strive to be.
