Meet\u2026<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Caroline Reynolds, a professor in the English Department at Sinclair Community College.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why She\u2019s Interesting\u2026<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Athens, Ohio, she grew up to immediately find a passion for the arts, particularly literature. <\/span><\/p>\n

After moving from Athens, she continued to go back and visit. It is an extremely important place in her childhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI spent a lot of time there growing up during the summers (and other holidays), \u201c she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Athens is a historic college town along the Hocking River in southeastern Ohio. It is home to Ohio University. <\/span><\/p>\n

The natural scene of the Midwestern town of Athens had a clear influence on her development into such an enthusiastic lover of the arts. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am passionate about music, literature, politics, and teaching,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reynolds moved to Dayton early on in life due to her father\u2019s job transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was raised just south of Dayton,\u201d she said. There, she went to high school and has called it her home for a large portion of her life. Growing up she knew she always had a love for reading. However, it took her a while to decide that she wanted to become a teacher. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reynolds first went to college at Sinclair. It allowed her to continue to mature and grow as a student. She continued her education at Wright State University, where she graduated with a B.A. and M.A.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reynolds said her inspiration to become an English professor stemmed from her love of literature. \u201cReading was a favorite activity as a child, it still is,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Becoming a teacher, getting married and having 3 children keeps Reynolds extremely busy. She says she doesn\u2019t have time for many hobbies. She finds time for what is important in her life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSpending time with my family, getting lost in a good book and going to Cincinnati Reds games are some of my favorite activities,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the classroom, Reynolds has a true passion for her students, and truly cares about their success.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing students work hard and succeed in their academic pursuits is very rewarding,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

She loves to see her students grow and succeed in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI work hard to set high standards for my students, and I work to help them achieve those standards to the best of their ability,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/span><\/p>\n

She cares about her students, and loves to see them become passionate about reading and English. She considers it one of the most rewarding parts of her job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite her many obligations, Reynolds enjoys collecting jazz albums from the 1950\u2019s and \u201860s including Bill Evans, Red Garland and Cannonball Adderley. She also enjoys reading some of her favorite authors, like Charlotte Bronte.<\/span><\/p>\n

An extremely blessed, hard-working and caring individual, Reynolds is forever grateful for everything she has grown to accomplish.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel very fortunate to have a loving and healthy family and a challenging and rewarding career.\u201d She never takes anything for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n
