Why Do I Teach?:
My passion is teaching. Teaching is truly my calling. I teach because of the awe and amazement in a child's eyes when he or she accomplishes a goal. It's pure magic to watch a child read a passage he or she could not read a month previous. Teaching is an art. I am proud to be a part of it!
