My name is Meghan Schuster and I am in the Adolescent Social Studies program at GSE. I am originally from Chesterfield Missouri, 20 minutes outside St. Louis. I went to Stonehill College in Boston MA. At Stonehill I was a cheerleader, rode horses, tutored kids, played field hockey and member of the Spirit Committee as well as majored in US History with a minor in Irish Studies. I have been to Ireland once and would LOVE to go to other places in Europe one day! I started classes at Fordham July 5th (the same day I moved to the city) and have been loving every day being in New York. In my free time (though I am starting to not get enough of it) I like reading, watch tv, hang out with friends and see my family! I also am a competitive equestrian and try to get back up to Boston as often as possible to ride my horse.
I knew I wanted to be a teacher for a while. I have been a counselor at a riding camp at my barn for many summers. I was also a nanny for a little girl for 4 years. I was sad to say goodbye to her but I get to see her and check in on her whenever I am home. I have no "teaching" experience but I love working with kids, especially adolescents. I hope to be a middle school social studies teacher either in New York or Boston upon graduation from Fordham GSE. I am very excited to continue observations at The Center School as well as student teaching next semester. So far I love my kids I am working with and am excited to get to know each of them a little bit better as we continue.
