Why did you decide to become a teacher?
From a young age, I have vivid memories of playing school during the long summer days. Another benefit was having both parents as teachers at the High School level. Early teaching observations began when days were spent at either High School with my parents. One can say that teaching was always in my blood and I have joyfully continued the tradition.
