Crystal Bennett is currently pursuing
a Bachelor of Education at OISE. She
graduated with a Bachelor of Arts
(Honours) from Laurentian University,
where she was on the Dean’s List and
studied English with a minor in social
sciences. She chose English because she
loves to read. She is hoping to become
a high school English teacher and
remove the dread of essay writing,
hopefully making it so students want
to write more, instead of struggling
to develop their ideas on paper.
Education and learning have always
been central in her life. Knowing she
wanted to become a teacher from the
age of eight, she was involved with
book clubs and tutored other students
growing up. She also has a minor
passion for social activism, and has
been a part of a few protests while at
Laurentian University, including the
Occupy Movement (the group formed
in Barrie) and a protest against hiking
tuition costs in Ontario. |
