The job I had this summer at Day Camp Spring Lake. It showed me first hand how much I enjoy working with kids and it was crazy how much fun I had. Demonstrated to me the bonds that can be made with students.
My other parent who is also a teacher. Teaches high school psychology and enjoys going to work every single day. This passion for the job is exactly what I hope to bring into the classroom someday.
The school where I spent grades 9-12. This is where I learned that I absolutely needed to be organized. I was challenged by all sorts of APs and collegiate level courses at this level. The teachers here really rubbed off on me and showed me the impact teachers can make on their students.
The verb that has easily been my biggest weakness over the years. I do this all too much even though it is very harmful for my grades. This happened when I would get an assignment or a paper a week or two before it was due but I wouldn't start it until the night before.
One of my greatest strengths. This is something you do in order to get a paper. I didn't really know how good I was at it until college and I know that my former English teachers had a big role to play in the development of this skill.
Both of my parents seperate fathers. They were both teachers and one specifically described the impact that teaching had had on his life. They both taught me about history and demonstrated the lessons that one can learn during their lifetime as a teacher.
Down
This is where I did grades 1-5. I had no idea what I wanted to do at this point but professional athlete or astronaut seemed very likely.
Something that I think I’ve built throughout my educational career. I think that my teachers have taught me to become not only a good student but also a good man. I hope to someday build this in my students.
Easily my favorite subject in school and the subject I someday hope to teach at an upper level. I love how it all seems like one big story and how the more you learn about it the more interesting it gets. My grandpa was a big influence on why I love this subject so much.
The type of school I spent grades 6-8 of my education career at. I began to learn how much I loved social studies and how much I disliked math. Puberty sucked and I learned how to become a student and organize my things a little better.
Something that I sometimes think was forced upon me during my education. It is also something that is easier for students to learn when they are actually engaged in the subject matter. This engagement is something that I want to be pivotal in how I educate my own students some day.
One of my parents and a former teacher himself. Is currently an assistant principal at Eagan High School in Minnesota. He showed me how rewarding of a job the educational field is and I hope to be in the same place as him one day. He also showed me how much I enjoy learning new things and pushing myself with difficult classes.

Where is my puzzle?
All your puzzles are accessible from your 'My Puzzles' page, which you can access using the navigation bar at the top when you are logged in.
Be sure to log in using the same email address you used when you created your puzzle.
How do I print?
There is a 'Make Printable' button on the top left of your puzzle that will let you sign up for a plan or purchase a single puzzle.
Once paid, that button will turn into a 'Preview + Publish' button that will put your puzzle in a format that can be printed or solved online.
Once you publish your puzzle, you can click the print icon or use your browser’s print function.
It looks weird when printed.
First make sure you’ve published your puzzle. See the 'How do I print?' section above for more information.
99% of other printing issues have to do with printer settings. Instead of trying to fiddle with printer settings, which can be time-consuming and frustrating, there are a couple workarounds you can try.
You can try printing from a different browser, since different browsers have different default print settings. Alternately, you can try saving as a PDF (next to the print icon) and print that.
Why isn’t this free?
We invested in building a number of premium features that free sites are unable to offer: the ability to automatically or manually add words to your puzzle, save-as-you-go puzzle editing, the ability to access your puzzles from any computer, an uncluttered and ad-free interface, the ability for friends and colleagues to solve your puzzles online, and quick responsiveness to reported issues.
My Crossword Maker is the lowest-price service we've found that provides these features, and is designed for people who are not satisfied with what free sites are able to provide.
I thought this was free.
We’re sorry you thought My Crossword Maker was free, that must have been frustrating.
We’re constantly trying to provide a clear and straightforward user experience, and we’re not trying to hide the price: on the page where you make your puzzle, the price is listed in the overview in the top left (before you log in), below the 'Make Printable' button (after you log in), in the FAQ below the grid, and also in the tour.
Unfortunately, we have limited control over how we show up in Google and on other sites, so if they show My Crossword Maker when someone searches for a free site we can’t do anything about that.
It says there is no account with my email.
First check whether you used a different email address to create your account. Your login email is the email address where you received a welcome email from us.
Alternately, it’s possible there was a typo in your email when you created your account. If so, report an issue below and provide the name and last four digits on the card you used when you signed up. We’ll use this information to track down your account.
I am being asked to pay a second time.
If you are a member of My Crossword Maker and are still being asked for payment, then you may have inadvertently created a second account.
Your paid account will have the email address where you received an email confirming your subscription.
If you never received such an email, or are still unable to find your paid account, report an issue below and provide the name and last four digits on the card you used when you signed up. We’ll use this information to track down your account.
My password reset isn’t working.
For security a human can’t see or reset your password, so read the below information carefully.
If you haven’t gotten the password reset email, check your spam folder, be sure you’re checking the email account that the email was sent to, and be aware that some school email systems block emails from non-school email addresses.
If you have the password reset email but the password isn’t accepted, be sure you are using the most recent password reset email: sometimes people will hit the button twice, and only the second password will work.
Be sure if you copy-paste the password not to get a space on the outside, or if you're typing it keep in mind that it's case-sensitive and that a lower-case L can look like the number 1, etc.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel your subscription from your 'My Account' page, which you can access using the navigation bar at the top when you are logged in.
Support representatives cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf.
Not all my words are in my puzzle.
When you hit the 'Arrange' button, our algorithm will try to arrange all your words on the grid, and will move words around to try to fit the most words.
This will get all the words on the grid about 90% of the time, depending on the word list. For the other 10%, you will get an alert explaining that the words that did not fit were added to the scratchpad.
It prints on two pages.
Big puzzles won’t always print on one page — the clues and grid are the smallest we could make them while keeping them readable for everyone.
That said, different browsers print in slightly different ways, so you could try using 'print preview' using a different browser (or try the PDF button) to see if you like how that looks better.
I didn’t hear back from you.
We generally respond to all reported issues in about a day. If it’s been a few days and you haven’t heard back from us, it’s possible we sent an email that didn’t reach you.
Check your spam folder, and be aware that some school email systems block emails from non-school email addresses. Try providing a different email address if you think our emails to you are being blocked.
