48. Teaching Young Minds and Learning Life Lessons ~ with Kendall Smilde

Teaching and learning are two integral parts of any human’s lifetime. I believe teachers are such an important part of our society, and in this episode of the summer conversation series, I sat down with one of my favourite people, who also happens to be a teacher, my friend Kendall Smilde.
Kendall received her Bachelor of Education from Brock University in 2020, and she is now an elementary school teacher. She has a passion for working with youth and a strong desire to inspire change in the younger generations. She also enjoys living an active lifestyle through things like sports, hiking, and volunteering in the community. In her free time, she enjoys reading, being with family and friends, and spending time with her beloved French bulldog Fred.
In our conversation, we talked about things like…
- How our friendship has evolved since we met in high school and what we love most about our relationship
- What (and who) inspired Kendall to become a teacher, and how she knew this career was always meant for her
- Kendall’s experience of completing teacher’s college and starting her teaching career during the height of the pandemic
- Navigating the unknown in life and choosing to sink deeper into trust
- The challenges Kendall has faced in her journey so far, and how she has overcome them and learned more about herself because of them
- Having faith and believing in yourself as you work towards living your dream
- The immense privilege and responsibility that comes with this career, and Kendall’s thoughts on how we can all better support teachers
- The power of choosing to trust each step in your journey and believe that things will happen the way they’re meant to happen
We’ve all been impacted by teachers in some way, and I hope what we talked about in this episode expanded your understanding of what it’s really like to be a teacher. Much thanks to Kendall (or as she’s known to her students, Miss Smilde!) for sharing so openly and for all the work she does to teach and inspire children!
