Mrs. Sharer is an Honors Chemistry teacher that is new to Lambert this year; she was previously a student-teacher at Alliance and worked in chemical engineering. She worked in chemical labs at Emory and the University of Birmingham Alabama. 

Sharer loves working at Lambert, she loves to teach kids and see them learn and grow. She describes the students at Lambert as curious, bright and motivated; teaching these students is her favorite part of her new job.

She used to work at Alliance where the kids were a lot more career-focused. Compared to Lambert where students are very interested in many different subjects and extracurriculars. She describes Lambert as having hundreds of clubs and people being involved in many different clubs.

One of Mrs. Sharer’s deciding reasons for working at Lambert was the fact that she used to live in the county. 

“I moved to Forsyth County in the early 80s and I graduated from a high school in the county, then I moved away since,” Mrs. Sharer remarked. “But when we came back I knew that I wanted my kids in the schools here.” 

Sharer has a long history with chemistry and it all started in the chemistry class she took in high school. She described her chemistry teacher as someone who made chemistry extremely interesting and exciting. 

Mrs. Sharer then went on to study chemistry at Georgia Tech, where she originally thought she was going to be a chemical engineer, but she had her first chemistry lab and fell in love with it. She went on to work on research labs at Emory for 10 years. 

After all this, she took a break and stayed home with her kids; she always knew that she wanted to be in a classroom teaching chemistry. That dream finally came true this year when she got the opportunity to teach at Lambert.

She is especially excited to do a certain lab that she did last year at Alliance; the lab is a bonding lab and you determine what types of bonds certain chemicals are. She describes the lab as using properties and experiments to determine a bond. 

Although Sharer has not always had her own classroom, she has been teaching students for a long time. 

“When I worked in the labs I still worked with kids,” Mrs. Sharer stated. “The kids were just older, so I was working with college students and grad students, and my favorite part was working with them and teaching them and watching them grow.” 

Being in a classroom is truly the perfect place for Mrs. Sharer and her love for teaching makes learning chemistry interesting for all of her students.
