Good Afternoon! My name is Brittany Ledek and am currently a Junior at East Carolina University. I am studying Elementary Education with a concentration in reading, and am loving every minute of it!
I am originally from New York, but moved to North Carolina about 10 years ago. I have 2 sisters; Alicia (older) and Stephanie (younger) as well as my parents Patricia and Michael. A little over a year ago I adopted a kitten named Sophie, she can sometimes be a pain, other then that I love her so much!
In my free time I love hanging out with friends and family. I also have a newfound appreciation of working out and doing fitness classes up at the rec. center on ECU's campus. When I have spare time I like reading mostly sappy love stories by Nicholas Sparks. One of my favorites is The Last Song. I also enjoy spending time at the beach, and watching some good old Pirate football!
From a young age I've always enjoyed working with kids. I started off babysitting when I was about 14. When I got to high school I was able to apply to get into a course that let me go to an elementary school and work with the teachers and students. There I was able to work with a kindergarten, and first grade class. I wasn't in the first grade classroom long before the teacher I was with assigned me to work 1 on 1 with a student; that was having trouble writing the letters of the alphabet. After a few weeks of working with her I saw a great improvement. One day that I was working with her and the little girl remembered how to write the letters. She looked up at me, hugged me and thanked me for my help. From that moment on I knew I wanted to become a teacher. Little moments like that and making an impact on a child's life is what I strive to do.
I hope you enjoyed reading this! Stay tuned for a new post coming soon!
