Twenty-three-year-old Jared McPhoy always knew he wanted to become a teacher. In fact, as he tells it, his nursery school teacher impacted his life so much that he knew it by the time he got to primary school. Today, days shy of his 24th birthday, McPhoy is not only a trained teacher but also a University of Guyana graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Education – English (Secondary).
School was not always a joyous atmosphere for McPhoy. He recalled that in secondary school he was continually teased which made it difficult some days. A lover of language, who teaches both English Literature (B), which was his first love and English Language (A) at the Annandale Secondary School, the young teacher has chronicled his school days and the challenging years he faced as a child in his home environment in a book set to be released soon. By Grace Through Faith: A Journey of Self Discovery is the medium McPhoy has used to help him to heal from his childhood experiences and move forward.
