My name is Sara Desmond. I have been teaching at Wilson for almost eight
years, and I have found that I really enjoy my time with the students because
I am able to use reading and writing as a means to get to know my students as
people and future adults.
Some interesting facts about me include that I was a competitive gymnast for
over ten years and a varsity cheerleader for Phillipsburg High School. I am
now married and have three beautiful children. Growing up, I spent way too
much time at wrestling matches watching my brothers, the Ciasulli's, wrestle
for Easton, and then Lehigh University. They now help my father run practices
at Red Hawk Wrestling Club, where my son Nathan has recently become a member.
I absolutely love country music - though I try to listen to many different
genres - and I love, love, love Sirius XM Radio. I have an undergraduate
degree, as well as my masters, from East Stroudsburg University.
This year, I hope to teach my students more than just reading and writing.
I hope to teach them to be responsible for their actions so that they can
become successful teenagers and adults in the future. Once they move on to
college, or find themselves in the work force, they will be expected to work
with people they do not necessarily get along with and they will be required
to do things they do not want to do. As high school students, they have the
same responsibilities, which will prepare them for the real world.
