Why Do I Teach?:
It's not a job. It's a joy! It is, for me, the most rewarding and exciting profession I could have chosen. Since I work with children, I get to experience all that children have to offer. This has meant that I've needed to be a life-long learner. Keeping current to meet their needs. I am challenged by my students and my responsibility to provide them with the best education that I can.
