What I love most about teaching:

I have a student, who 6 years ago was a tough young lady. Hardened by life and ready to quit on herself. This year she is being a Teacher's Assistant for me. How can you not love this job.

My favorite moment in teaching:

Anytime one of my students come back from the high school and tell me how great they are doing.
