Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Miss Carly Kubek. This is currently Miss Kubek’s first year in Brooklyn and teaching altogether. Previous to working here, she student-taught fifth graders at an elementary school in Bowling Green. Some things she likes to do in her free time are run, play the piano, and read. A fun fact about Miss Kubek is that she can play the piano, guitar, and saxophone.
Q: If you could have another job outside of education, what would it be?
A: “I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher at a young age. If I had to choose something else, I would say something in the medical field or something where I could give back and help.”
Q: Where did you go to college?
A: “Bowling Green State University.”
Q: What is your favorite college memory?
A: “I got to study abroad. Being able to travel and see other countries was the best.”
Q: What is one piece of advice that you give to students, regardless of the situation they are in?
A: “Having a positive attitude can get you pretty far. If you do not like the situation that you are in and you have a positive attitude, then you can try to push through and get through it and find ways to make things better.”
Q: What is your life’s motto?
A: “Ask more questions. I think that a lot of us tend to jump to conclusions, and we are not very open-minded. It is always good to stay curious, but ask those questions you need to ask. You will not know until you ask.”
Q: What was your biggest setback in life? How did you get through it?
A: “Mental health. Trying to do my best for everyone else, while still trying to do the best for myself. I learned to navigate through some mental health struggles by figuring out how to gain some independence, while still relying on my support system and learning how to do things on my own.”
Q: What is your favorite activity to do when the weather gets colder?
A: “Play board games because I like to do things with my friends. Card games are really fun, too.”
Q: Do you prefer a short or a long winter?
A: “Shorter because I enjoy being outside.”
Thank you so much for your time, Miss Kubek. We wish you all of the best during your first year here in Brooklyn. And, the next time you visit BGSU, please bring back Pollyeyes for us!
