One+Of+Us%3A+Ms.+Carrafiello

This week, I decided to learn a little more about one of my favorite teachers, Ms. Marrissa Carrafiello. Ms. C is in her 8th year of teaching at Hammonton High School as the chorus teacher. She also taught 4 years at Charter Tech for Arts High School in Somers Point.Ms. C graduated from the University of Delaware and she has a Bachelor’s degree in music education.

My three favorite artists/bands are… Bon Jovi, Amos Lee, and Ray Lamontagne.

Something that most people don’t know about me is that… I am an avid sailor. It’s a summertime hobby, me and my sister used to have our own boat. However, I don’t get to do it as often anymore.

If I could have one super power, it would be… absolutely flying. Because I love to travel so it would be great to fly.

My favorite thing about my job is… I like to see what I’ve done that impacts the future decisions of my students. I love teaching because I love what I teach, and I love to see the finished project such as the choir concerts and the play.

My pet peeve is… I hate, hate, hate it when people share water bottles, its the worst! And grammar, I hate bad grammar. Like “can I go to the bathroom” instead of “may I”.

My favorite movie is… P.S I Love You.

My favorite inspirational movie is… Mr. Holland’s Opus

My favorite TV show is… Walking Dead. I’ve watched it since the beginning.

The best concert I’ve ever seen was… Stevie Wonder.

My favorite musical is… Anything Goes, I love it!

One of my favorite teaching memories is…  Back when I taught in Somers Point. There was a trouble student who I helped get focused in music. It brought him to be focused in the rest of his classes and he graduated with a full scholarship. Those are the kind of things that make me love the job I have.
