Areas of Interest |
Teaching is
privilege rather than a job. I always tell my students if they
can find work they enjoy doing whether or not they are paid, they
have found my career. I thrive on communicating with students and
love seeing their eyes brighten when they learn a new concept and
find an appreciation for an old one. My family time includes
church activities, weekly movies, simple dinners, and camping
trips. My collections include music, books, dolls, gnomes,
cut glass, and antiques. |
