Introduction
My name is Sarah Titus, and I am from Derry, NH. In May 2012, I graduated from Keene State College (Keene, NH) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education and hold certification in K-12 Physical Education for the State of New Hampshire. I worked at South Meadow Middle School (Peterborough, NH) for four years. I have just begun my first year at Gorham Middle School (Gorham, Maine) teach grades 6-8 Phys. Ed.
Born and raised in New Hampshire, I have learned to enjoy the outdoors and being active year-round. Growing up, my family and I were always on the move, going from activity to activity trying just about everything. In this way, I consider myself extremely fortunate and thank my parents a great deal. I realize that many students do not have the opportunities that I had. This is one of the reasons I chose to become a physical educator. Not only to teach, but to provide those opportunities for my students; giving students the chance to discover and to enjoy.
What I bring to physical education is: the ability to go out of my comfort zone, my excitement to try new things, and to relate this to my students. I think that it is important to lead by example and be a positive role model. If I ask my students to challenge themselves to try something new on a regular basis, it is important for them to know that I am constantly doing the same.
I have found that leading by example gains respect both inside and outside of the classroom. I have always been dedicated, hard working and a team player. In high school, I captained three varsity sports teams, and I continued to develop those leadership skills throughout my senior year at Keene State College where I was selected by my coach and teammates to be a Captain of the Women’s Cross-Country and Track & Field teams. I graduated as the only senior athlete of my class to have competed all three seasons for all four years, which is an example of my dedication
