Why did I become a teacher:

Growing up I was surrounded by strong women who were all educators.  I admired the passion in each of these women.  They had a drive to help others succeed. I admired them for their desire to see my community become better through education and also through opportunities they spearheaded for the youth in my hometown.  I could see the spark in their eyes when they talked about school….which was constant! One of these women was the biggest impact on my decision to become a teacher…she was my sister.  Her passion and love for her students and the way she engaged them in learning inspired me.  She gave me the desire to choose a career where I to could have an impact on children too.  I wanted to be like her and make a difference.  She was truly called to be a teacher…I believe I was too.  Teaching is a calling…and I’m blessed have the title… teacher.  I love my job and the children I’ve been privaledged to have in my class.  I am so glad these women, especially my sister, inspired me to pursue a degree that I ended up loving.
