"I try to get to know something about each of my students. If they are trying, then I'll take care of the rest."

"I was inspired to become an educator to make a difference in student's lives and help them become all that they can be."

"I love knowing each of my students personally and strive to include as many of their interests in my lesson plans as possible."

"I wouldn't ask the students to do something that I haven't tried myself. Participating along with my students helps keep them engaged and keeps me young!"
