Why Do I Teach?:
I truly love having the chance to reach students at such a critical time in their lives. In high school, they are at a point where they are making very important decisions about who they want to be and how to live their lives. I enjoy being in a position where I can help and impact them. I love proving to them that reading was originally designed for entertainment and that they do have potential, whether or not they've ever been told that.
