Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because of the HIGH PAY.LOL Actually, I had two of the greatest history teachers one could ever ask for growing up in Mrs. Ealy and Coach Barnett. My career path started out different but I never lost my love for history so when I ended up with a bacholers degree in history. I teach history to try and plant a love for the subject like my teachers did for me.
