At Springville Junior High School the students have an amazing food’s teacher, Mrs. Natalie Luke. She has been teaching for six years. “I never intended on teaching junior high kids--I thought they were too wild and crazy. But then I realized I was wild and crazy too, so it just fit,” Mrs. Natalie Luke stated.
She first became interested in teaching from her father. According to Mrs. Luke, it was just in her family genetics. Some things she wishes she could change about her job are spending more time to get to know her students better, such as attending their games and outside social life. She’d also like to have more time for new recipes in class.
Students shared their thoughts about her. Natalie Shaw, an eighth grade student in her foods class, said, “She’s the best teacher here, really nice.” While according to Jacob Davenport, a last semester student, the only word to describe her is awesome.
If you’re wondering what a teacher’s point of view is on what they think of their job just listen to this opinion of Mrs. Luke, “Are there days I dream of a nice quiet job? Absolutely! But I get the chance of spending my day teaching kids a life skill they can use. And I share in the ups and downs of teenage life… what could be more exciting then that?”
Mrs. Natalie Luke clearly loves her job, but what are some of her out of school hobbies? According to her, she loves to read, sew, and spend time with her family. She also loves throwing parties, playing in the leaves in fall and blowing bubbles.
It's obvious to anyone who meets Mrs. Natalie Luke that she loves and cares for her students.
