Description:

I was able to interview Julie Mizak who is an ESL teacher both in

the school system and also at Frostburg State University. She is very
passionate about her job and enjoys working with students who have
disabilities.
Reflection: I spent several hours talking with Julie Mizak, ESL teacher. She
has worked at Elementary, Middle, High School and College levels. Julie has
also traveled to Ecuador to teach English and spent several months studying
the culture of another country. Julie showed me pictures from her trip and
shared stories of students she has worked with in the past. Julie has spent
brief periods of time in each grade level as a teacher, but id currently
working at the middle school level.
