Hello: my name is Lauren Blakemore.
I am a University student at the University of the Fraser Valley, where I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in History and a minor in English Literature. My goal is to continue into the Batchelor’s of Education at the University of the Fraser Valley to pursue a career in teaching high school.
I am pursuing a career in teaching because this has always been a passion of mine, and it is a part of my life in various aspects.
I run my own business teaching aquatics in the summer. While teaching aquatics is too young for children. My passion for history draws me to high school. 
Not only has this business allowed me to learn and refresh my skills continually, but it also helped me be independent.
A bit about me:
- I am driven and focused. I work hard to achive a good outcome and see success in not only my own work, but those who work with me.
- Comminication is something I excel at. I work hard to communicate clearly, effectlvly and in a manner that all those will understand. I also believe that listening is a valuable trait in a communicator and as a teacher this is a skill i work to continually ajust and improve.
- I am also quite a creative individual. I am creative and therfore also love working with my hands. This is evident in my work, my photoraphy and my passions in life.
- I am open-minded. I may not agree with you, but I respect your opinions. love exploring new places and cultures and it is important to me to keep an open mind.
- Skills that are highlighted in my life are: Commuication, Interpersonal Relationships, Leadership, Creative Thinking, and Planning.
Below are examples of my creativity and my attention to detail. All photography is taken by myself.
