Where are you from? A galaxy far away---AKA Kansas.
Why English Language Arts? I love literature and the manipulation of language throughout history. Furthermore, the root of all other professions and creative ideas/inventions come from language. Why teaching? I enjoy being in a challenging, self-reflecting and instructing profession. I get easily bored when I'm not being challenged and when I'm not constantly learning. What is your favorite novel? I don't have a FAVORITE. I have memorable moments with Song of Solomon, Things Fall Apart, The Count of Monte Cristo, My Best Friend's Girl, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo... What is your favorite hobby? Drinking coffee with friends. What mantra do you live by? "Always see another day as an opportunity to improve." What's the best advice you've received? "You can't control how people treat you, but you can control how you treat others." What's the best advice you've given? "If he/she won't learn, then he/she won't earn." If you could invite 4 people to a dinner party, living or dead, who would be your choices? My grandfathers, my deceased grandmother and my mother. What is your goal for the 2016-2017 academic year? Welcome quiet moments that create resounding success. |
