My name is Jacob Genaille-Dustyhorn. I am from the Cumberland House Cree Nation. I am in my 3rd year of the Indian Teacher Education Program, and my teaching areas are Social Studies and English. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher in the Saskatoon Public School Division, because I grew up in that school division. I would like to be able to give back to the division that helped shaped me into the man that I am today.
If I am not at school, working, or at my computer doing homework, you can either catch me on a ball field, a hockey (or ball hockey) rink, or in the bowling alley by myself or with a group of friends. I have grown to love many different sports because I sports have always kept me busy. I have met a lot of my closest friends while I was playing the games.
I have grown up to realize that stronger friendships are the most successful friendships. Being able to realize the qualities of a good friend is what I strive to have, especially when I am in a classroom. By being easy-going, fun, and non-judgemental, it has helped me become someone who can easily get along with all people.
I have also grown to love animals! For the past 13 years or so, we have always had an dog or cat inside of our house. If I ever had a terrible day, I could always count on one of the animals to help make that day 1000 times better! By animals having a never-ending love, it has shown me that you can never let something bug you forever!
I have become someone who believes that learning is never done! I have always been someone who was, and still is, interested in learning anything and everything that life has to offer! Wherever there could be learning, you can find me there!
Thank you for this reflection, Jacob. You are so right about cultivating friendships and supports. You would be an asset to Saskatoon Public Schools, or any division in which you choose to work.
