Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I enjoy being able to instill in my students the excitement that this world has to offer. When my students tell me how much they enjoy my class or our school it is such a rewarding experience. For many of our students this is the first good experience they have ever had in a school and I am so happy that i can be part of this.
