Migrating across the state borders is
something that many Americans will experience during their lifetimes
and is something acknowledged as being one of the greatest things
about the United States. The wealth of land and diversity of people
is unlike anywhere else in the world and Americans are taking
advantage of this more and more each day as the travel industry grows
and prices drop. The success stories, however, differ greatly. It is
not uncommon to hear about those who go running home due to the level
of change, or of those who feel out of place in their new location.
The subject of this article, Joy Miketzuk, is not one of the
latter individuals. She has succeeded in the quest for taking her
skills across the United States and has set an example for others
trying to do the same thing.
Joy Miketzuk now lives in New
York City where she is on course for a successful and enriching
career in teaching. She loves everything about the city; its
inhabitants, its many unique stores, and so on - but how did she get
there? Joy Miketzuk was born in New Jersey to a regular,
working family with good friends and all the amenities of a modest
American town. She enjoyed her time growing up there and she
continues to speak fondly of it today. She was able to make the most
of her time there by attending the William Paterson University. At
this institution Joy Miketzuk began to make her reputation as
a name to watched in the small town as her grades excelled and she
won the respect of her tutors. The success she experienced in
education drove her to go further and to do what many other American travelers have done; to move city.
Joy Miketzuk found herself in
New York City where she continued to work with the same dedicated
spirit that had been raised in her from the start. Soon enough she
was accepted into the New York City Teaching Fellows where she now
carries good official stature as an educator. She made it her mission
to educate the citizens around her and to look to children as those
who carry the future in them. As a respected teacher Joy Miketzuk
now can look back on her past and see the lengths she has traveled
winding back behind her. She has come a long way, but the lesson she
gives us is not to let that fact get to our heads. Though her travels
were vast, Joy Miketzuk continues to look onwards into the
future.
