Part 3- Find a true story about
someone who changes the world every day
Interview
with Ms. Demeo
Do
you personally think you change the world by teaching?
“I
think that I do in a small way, but honestly if you have ever lived on this
planet, you have changed the world. Everyone changes the world in one way”
Why
did you choose to teach? Was it something you wanted to do young?
“Ever
since I was small, it is something I wanted to do. It started at my High School
where one of my teachers changed my life, and ever since I really enjoyed
teaching”
Do
you ever hate your job, and just want to stay home?
“I think that
hate is a very strong word. If you hate something, you should move on. No one
should ever feel stuck. If I hated my job, I wouldn’t still be here. Sure it is
very tough to deal with children and teachers sometimes, but I don’t hate my
job”
If
you got 1 million dollars, would you quit your job?
“At this point
in my career, I probably would, because I’m already thinking about retirement,
but if it was when I was younger, I think I would have still worked”
Are
things in your life that you saw wrong, and that you tried to fix? “I think that foreign language is not treated
seriously at all in this country, and I try to get students to be interested in
this subject”
Response
Ms.
Demeo is an admirable person because she dedicated her whole life to teach
students, even through hard times. She took foreign languages, a weakness the
United States has, which she felt was important, and spent her career trying to
fix that problem.
