Teacher of the Month

Special to The Examiner

Name: Samantha Anaya

Hometown: Lockhart, Texas

From where did you graduate college? I graduated from the best university around, Texas A&M! Whoop!

What is the best thing about being a teacher? There are many wonderful aspects to being a teacher, but the most rewarding part is when students get so excited about a book that they start asking to take a copy home.

How do you show your school spirit? I wear a Navasota shirt every Friday, of course, and I support and encourage my students in their school related activities.

What are your hobbies? On the weekends, I love going to the movies, taking my daughter to the park, and having family game nights.

What is your favorite quote? Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

If you could pass on any wisdom to your students, what would you share? Realize that you are only human, you will need help, and faith will take you farther than you can take yourself.
