 | | Trying to look smart! |
My name is Suzie Myhre, and this is my 11th year at Washington Middle School.
Born and raised in Rural Minnesota, I'm happy to be part of the St. Paul community. I received my English/Educations degrees at Moorhead State University (now called Minnesota State University Moorhead). In January, I will begin my quest toward a Master's Degree at Hamline Universtiy.
My hobbies include reading, golfing, playing cards, camping, singing (and as some students know, rapping), hanging out at the lake, and quoting a variety of classic, and not-so-classic movies. My extensive knowledge of 80's movie and music trivia makes me a favorite at most trivial pursuit games.
I come from a long line of teachers. My Grandma Sylvia came from a farming community and only was able to get an Eighth Grade education. This was something she always regretted, so education became a priority in my family. My mother recently retired after  | | That's me being silly! |
almost forty years of teaching. I guess it's in my blood! I truly enjoy it, and my students make me smile and laugh every single day.
At a very young age, I developed a love for reading and writing. I would spend hours in my room reading, and my favorite place in the world was the library in my hometown. I've been keeping a diary since the second grade (ever since I saw Marcia Brady keep one). As a middle school student, I was into the "Sweet Valley High" books, and would often make my parent drive thirty miles just to get the latest volume (which I would promptly read on the ride home). Becoming an English teacher was the most logical decision I could make.
I hope my students will walk away from my class feeling that they have been able to express their ideas about the literature we read. I also hope they are able to read at least one piece (novel, poem, story, article) that inspires them to continue reading .
