Why Do I Teach?:
I teach to inspire the future generation of tomorrow. The population of students I work with need to be given the opportunity to enter the real world ready to succeed with the knowledge and life tools to do so. Many of my students have seen things and have knowledge of "adult" world issues and are only 8 and 9 years old; it is rather heartbreaking that they are unable to just be children. I want them to feel safe and secure in my classroom and be able to focus on forming friendships and pursue knowledge while they are here.
