English Society Logo

Episode 15 of the BYU English Society’s podcast, My Story, features Caroline Howard, an English turned English Teaching major who is now putting her skills to work as a 7th and 8th grade English teacher. Caroline also shared with us her incredible experience as an ORCA research grant recipient. On top of all her other accomplishments Caroline spent time as a presenter for the McKay School Symposium. Caroline pointed out to us that it was not so much what happened inside the classroom that shaped her decisions. Rather, it was what she accomplished as she work hard outside of her classes. For those of you looking into the idea of teaching English, receiveing an ORCA grant, or anyone else who wants to better understand making life changing decisions, play the podcast embedded above.

I’m a Southern Utahan, an animal and people lover, a swimmer and a historical fiction reader. And I’m an English Teaching major.

Life’s good, isn’t it?

I can’t believe that my years as an undergraduate at BYU are almost over, but I’ve loved each second of it! I have grown to love English more than I ever thought possible, and to be able to have the experience of teaching it to students is more amazing that I ever imagined! After I leave, I’m going to still actively seek out opportunities for book groups, creative writing outlets, and other events and meetings having to do with literature and English. Literature is a huge part of my life, and if I didn’t have it, I don’t know where I would be!

One of my favorite books is Anne of Green Gables.
