Ms. Mohr also talks about her passion and “Why” for teaching, Coming from a place of inspiration, as she herself had some amazing staff student relationships when she was a student learner in stating, “I became a teacher because I had some amazing teachers myself that showed me how fun Social Studies and History can be.” Additionally stating, “I actually used to think History was so boring, but I learned that good teachers can make any class interesting and fun.” Ms. Mohr exemplifies the importance of this statement not only in her classroom but around the school also as she creates dynamic scenery, stating “I enjoy bringing a little extra joy to the school building through bulletin boards, door decorations, or spirit days, even if that means I’m a little extra myself.” Lastly, Ms. Mohr shared that her favorite time period to teach is American Colonization, and the American Revolution, but all of History is special to her.
