Meet Miss Schroeder

My name is Jill Ann Schroeder. I grew up in a small town in Nebraska called Davenport. I went to high school at Bruning-Davenport USD and graduated with a class of 15. I attend St. Peter's Lutheran Church and was a member of the youth group, that is also where I attended Pre-K through 8th grade. My father is a farmer, crops and cattle, and my mother works at the bank in Davenport. I have four siblings, three brothers and a sister who is married. 
I have always loved competing in sports. I participated in volleyball, basketball, track and field, and summer softball. Sports help shape the type of leaders people become, and have played a huge part in my life. I also love music. I played in the band and sang in choir from middle school throughout high school. Recently, I have taken up the art of painting, only for fun though.
My three older siblings are all teachers, so teaching runs in the family. My oldest two siblings have definitely been the ones that inspired me the most to be a teacher. Being a teacher means to care about your students' success, whether it is the subject you are teaching, or where they take their life after they leave your classroom/school. Helping them figure out the path of what they want to do with their life after high school, will be really fascinating. 
In five years, I see myself in rural Nebraska teaching secondary science classes while coaching volleyball or track and field. I hope my students will describe me as fun, caring, understanding, and motivational. I want the environment of my classroom to be fun and vulnerable, but still hold high expectations for all of my students.
