about me

My name is Erica Grace Anderson.  I'm from Palatine (it's a suburb of Chicago).  I'm a junior at the University of Illinois.  I'm an English major and a Secondary Education minor.  

I want to be a teacher because I want to inspire young people to be the best versions of themselves. I really enjoy working with people, in general young people, specifically.  I have always wanted to be a teacher.  I also am truly passionate about literature.  I want to show young people (even young people that don't always like reading) that reading can be fun and teach you lessons about life.
