TPP Student Spotlight
Shiann Armenta

Did you always know you wanted to become a teacher? 
I didn't know I wanted to be a teacher until my 8th grade year when my history teacher, Mrs. Bates, helped me get through a lot of the struggles I went through in life. She became a mentor and I really wanted to be like her and be able to help other students the way she helped me.

What has been the best part of the TPP program experience thus far?
The best part of TPP been all the people I have had the opportunity to meet and the varied experiences I've been exposed to while at FC. Without TPP, I don't think I would have met the great counselors and other amazing teachers I had the opportunity to learn from.  

In what ways do you hope to make a difference in the field of education?
I hope to do for my future students what Mrs. Bates did for me. I hope to make my students feel comfortable enough to trust me to help them through not only school problems but other problems they're going through that may affect their ability to achieve their dreams. I want my students to know they have a support system they can trust.

What are your post-program plans?
I would like to go to either Oregon University or to attend a CSU in California and continue to pursue my career in the education field. I also hope I can go back to my mentor's classroom and continue to grow and learn from her about the teaching profession.

How are the people and TPP helping you along your way?
Through TPP I have met amazing counselors that helped me through college by guiding me to the right classes and taught me new skills I don't think I would have been taught had I not been in TPP. I also met a lot of really engaging teachers because of TPP and I truly believe because my teachers were so engaging, I was able to really connect with my education and stay motivated.
