...that education is something that is valuable for everyone, and that accessibility to education depends on the different person. I've been in education and training for the last ten years, and teaching both middle and high school for the last five, and I know that it takes more than one way to teach a person to know whether or not they understand what was told. I think this is an essential part of learning and...

...with my MA in Latin from the University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not.
