Tell us a little about you
I am a middle school teacher with 33 years of teaching experience. It takes a very certain personality to be successful as a middle school teacher and honestly I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but I love what I do each and every day. As a teacher you never have the same day twice and there is not a day that goes by that you don't laugh at something that happens during your day. When you feel your lowest you can always count on a student to cheer you up or even offer a hug. I worry that our young people entering college will not follow a true calling because of the difficulties of teaching and that is why I wanted to support this particular nonprofit group.
