- What I love about teaching:
- I love that I get to share stories with my students. I love seeing the looks on their faces when it makes sense or they connect to what is being taught.
- Best teacher moment:
- After discipling my students while we were at Arlington National Cemetary, they showed me that "they got it!" when they thanked, shook hands & took pictures with the WW2 and Vietnam War Veterans they met just 5 minutes later.
- Teaching philosophy:
- Every student can learn. Every student has gifts from God.
- What I would like to instill in my students:
- I want they to walk away knowing they are loved regardless.
- My story:
