"My name is Scott Larsen and this is my 1st year at Bessie Owens Intermediate, and I work for the Bakersfield City School District.
The success of my first year as a teacher is due to the staff that I work with and the students in my class, my students are an exceptional group of kids. They come to school everyday very enthused and it makes my first year as a teacher very, very enjoyable.
I'm definitely known for a teacher who pushes my kids very hard to succeed and it shows in the various academic relays that we have at school, and the competitions that we have academically.
Everything here, it's a fabulous opportunity that I've been given here. It's a great school with a great staff and it's definitely a joy to work here every single day."
