"I became a teacher for several reasons, but one of the biggest reasons was the impact that several teachers, many still in this district, had on me during my schooling. My favorite thing about teaching is the constant interaction with young adults. This is one of the few careers where you are able to consistently interact face-to-face with others and make a positive impact on their lives."
