Ms. Tanya Sharrock

Welcome Families!

My name is Tanya Sharrock and I teach third at Oakside Elementary School.  I have been teaching in Peekskill for 17 years.  I am a native of Peekskill.  I graduated from Peekskill High School in 1987.  I graduated from SUNY Albany for my undergraduate degree and I received my masters degree from Teachers College- Columbia University in 2000.   

 

Family Life:

I have a daughter who is 12 years old.  I live in Fishkill, New York.  I am very fortunate to have parents that still reside in Peekskill.   I have siblings that are also in education.    

 

Interests and Hobbies:

I love to cook and ride my 21 speed hybrid bike.  Now that my daughter has learned how to ride a two wheeler we will do alot more riding on the bike trails.  

 

My Philosophy on education and a person's potential

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson

it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us

 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

 

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
(All)  that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson
