My Philosophy:
Do your best each day and take one day at a time. It's a long journey; enjoy it. When a child finds his or her passion in life, whatever it maybe, that child will soar. The goal is helping children explore the possibilities. Each and every child has something within themselves that deserves nurturing.

Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because of the kids. It's fun. It's exciting. It's challenging. It's always different. I am surprised, one way or another, every day at the level of intellect and thought these children are capable of demonstrating when motivated and challenged. They are amazing!
