I am an English teacher at NCA and this will be my 7th year at NCA and my 13th year of teaching overall. I have a family that includes my husband, my 17 year old son, my 14 year old daughter, and our 3 year old dog Lego. We live in northern Nevada in the eastern Sierras. In this letter you will learn a bit more about me.Since we live in on the north shore of Lake Tahoe a lot of my life revolves around the lake and surrounding mountains. I enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking on the lake and hiking and skiing in the mountains. My dog requires a lot of attention, and I take her for a 30 minute walk nearly every day. Of course my children are a big part of my life and I spend time taking them to volleyball practice, music lessons, and other activities. My favorite books are The Outsiders and To Kill a Mockingbird. I don’t have a favorite movie, but absolutely love all kinds of comedy including Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, and more. My taste in music is pretty varied as well. I love rock, rap, hip-hop, and pop. Like many people, I have a wide variety of interests and life activities.To conclude, I would like to say that you might see me as a teacher whose whole life revolves around grammar, books, and grading students; but hopefully this letter helped you see that I have a very full and fun life outside of school. Of course, students are very important to me and that is why I teach. My motto is to have fun and never stop trying. Have a great school year!Sincerely,Ms. Sussman00Sample LetterDear Student,I am writing to introduce myself.
