My name is Tara Goike, and 19 years old. I was born in San Diego, California, but spent most of my life growing up in Edmond, Oklahoma. I went to Edmond North Highschool. I'm currently a sophmore here at OSU, and majoring in Secondary Education with an emphasis on English. I hope to one day teach senior level Language, or Literature classes, and maybe be involved in Journalism. I think that my philosophy of teaching really is about developing a relationship with your students. My senior level English teacher really got me wanting to be a teacher. I had always thought about it, but she made a huge impact on me. She taught me how to write what I'm feeling and gave us determination to fight for what we believe in.
