An educational future for me was so important, as I grew up in a family of eight children. Guess who had to help with homework? As I continued to ascend in my academics, I saw how students struggled in reading and writing, and it was so easy for me. So I decided that it was my goal in life to share my knowledge and love of the language arts with others, who, hopefully, might learn to love it also.
As I finished college , I was able to travel, to many other countries such as Egypt, London, Scotland, Greece, Italy, and many more. During those visits, I was granted permission to visit a school, and was able to read a story to the children. It reminded me that we are very fortunate, in the US, for the schools that we have, as some schools I visited were no more than desks sitting outside. During my visits to these other countries, I always wrote postcards to my students at home so they would know I was thinking of them, and to also remind them to read.

My interests and hobbies are reading, of course. I love to spend a day at the library checking out the new books, new book clubs I might be interested in joining, or other activities the library is hosting. Another passion of mine is traveling. I have been so fortunate to have traveled to so many places. My favorite place that I have visited was Egypt. I plan on traveling more, but it takes a lot of money to travel, so I have to save. One more exciting event I love to do in my life is cooking , and having people over to my house for the evening. We enjoy a good meal, laugh a lot, play cards, and just enjoy each other’s company. One more important way I love to spend my time, is with my family. I have eight brothers and sisters, and now I am blessed with six nephews and two nieces. In addition to that, I have become a great aunt, and just found out I’m becoming a great aunt again. So I love spending time with my family also. All of the ways I spend my time keep me busy, how did I ever teach?
