Everyday I make a commitment to my students, as well as the community, to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job with the belief that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the children as well. I teach to have a direct impact on creating a better society. I have the privilege to witness students empowering themselves and discovering their unique gifts as they take control of their learning. I teach because every student can learn, every student can achieve, and every student is a unique person with their own special set of gifts and talents. When all those individuals come together in the classroom, magic happens. I teach because I am fortunate to witness this magic happening every day.
