“I always said, ‘I want to be a teacher when I grow up.’ And that’s what I became when I grew up,” said Sosa.
Sosa has his masters in educational leadership. He says he wants to continue growing as an educator. Right now, he’s helping fifth-graders in Pasco County grow and follow their dreams.
“Seeing the smiles on their faces every morning, I give them a fist bump every morning just to say, ‘Good morning’ and they love that. Really that’s my favorite part,” said Sosa.
Sosa is a teacher and tutor at the school. He started his teaching career as a substitute teacher at a daycare center.
“Then I started here as an instructional assistant in Pre-K and then slowly but surely I kept moving up and growing each year,” said Sosa.
He’s taught PE and second grade as well. He says the key to his growth is continuing to learn new things. Sosa says he’s always looking for new ways to teach.
“Even if I taught it for the past three years, I know I can always get better, so I’m always looking at the standards, planning with my teammates, asking questions,” said Sosa.
He’s hoping to instill his love of learning in his students so they always want to reach for the stars.
“They have dreams that might be out of their reach, but I just tell them to keep going and it all starts academically, behaviorally with their mindset. If they don’t have that mindset in the classroom it’s going to be a struggle outside of the classroom,” said Sosa.
