...developing their own critical thinking skills. I also encountered some of the same fear that I saw from people 100 feet up a rock face.

...students! I love when my students smile, but most of all, I like when they have fun during my lessons. I have a passion for the English language to the very articulated point of counting out exact change with words by being succinct.
