Favorite Quotes:
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."
George Washington Carver
"Therefore,do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" Matthew 6:34
Why Do I Teach?:
As Vanessa Williams says, "I believe that children are our future".... I teach because this is the truth, and it's my hope that every American will realize this. Trust me, I am NOT a patient person, especially with ignorant adults...but children are a completely different story. If I can make a difference in a child's life, and they can help society, then I know I've done my job. Children are so impressionable, and if you hold high expectations for them, they won't fail!!!
