Why do I love teaching? I love teaching because it is a daily, applicable, growth-filled way of making a difference in this world, for both student and teacher. I’ve always believed that kids have the biggest part in influencing change, and my teacher role models from my life have always taught the same. I have strived to be a change-maker my whole life, and being a teacher I am blessed with students who make a difference in my life daily, and who empower those around them to do the same.
