Who’s the Boss? Ms. Boss!
Get inside the thoughts of Mrs. Boss, the newest English teacher at WCHS
This is Ms. Boss’ first year teaching English at WCHS. Ms. Boss attended college at Piedmont College, a small liberal arts college in Georgia. As for her teaching, Ms. Boss says she was inspired to be a teacher after she took an internship at a learning center with her psychology degree. “I taught relationship courses and basic psychology to teenagers, and I found what I really liked about my psychology major was teaching.”
“I was moved by the community here-/by the togetherness, by the school spirit and the care that I could tell everyone has for one another,” she said about WCHS.
Ms. Boss was drawn to teach English after she found that English is the foundation for education. “I would like to teach English because I think the skills in English classes are skills that carry you for your whole lifetime. Writing, reading, speaking and listening are necessary no matter what career path one chooses,” she said.
Ms. Boss says the key to being successful in life would be “to take life one day at a time one bit by bit or Bird by Bird like the great writer Anne Lamont says.”
“I think no matter what life hands us, we have the option of choosing how to respond to it,” said Boss. Ms. Boss is a very positive teacher who loves to spread the motto “choose joy” in her classroom.
