the kids and being a life long learner

the kids and being around others that share my passion

the kids, the subject itself, the technolgy, and being a life learner

a thank you from a student or a parent who tells you you really made a difference

learning and growing along with the students and the teachers I work with.

being able to make choices, be creative, work collaboratively

constant learning, for a greater purpose. The learning is exciting and it is always energizing to work for something greater than yourself.

Knowing that I'm empowering kids to question the status quo and make informed decisions.

the challenges--each day presents something unexpected

being able to be an advocate for the kids and work with teachers to help the students get what they need

A long time ago, I was told by someone that I couldn't be the best at something I wanted. I had to prove them wrong. I want to be the best..

the best I can be because the kids i have deserve the best they can get. Whether they are in an inner city, are new immigrants or Gifted...

all deserve to have a teacher try and perform their best every day for them. We all know it is hard on a daily baisi, but I do it because...

I was discouraged from teaching by people very close to me and I have something to prove to them and myself.
