"Teachers
come and go but every so often one comes along that you'll always
remember. One who makes learning an adventure... and who can still
remember what it's like to be young and growing up... The kind who can
make you want to be the very best you can be... Someone you can really
talk to, who really cares what happens to you... That person is YOU!"

I
Teach...
●
I teach
because there is a great fulfillment that comes in working with
boys and girls.
●
I
teach because I wanted to be a sculptor, and I can do so, by
shaping lives for the future.
●
I
teach because I wanted to be an artist, and I can do so, by
painting dreams for children.
●
I teach because I
wanted to be a musician, and I can, in giving inspiration to
children.
●
I
teach because I wanted to be a historian, and I can in having
recorded something for the lives of great men and women to come.
●
I
teach because I wanted to be a poet, and I can in writing
impressive passages of mankind.
●
I
teach because of the reward I receive when a child's frown turns
to smiles, or when he/she says, "Now I understand."
●
I
teach because of the personal growth I receive each day as I
venture out on a quest for knowledge and techniques to help my
students understand.
●
I
teach for it is in this where I can see the worthwhile and true
fulfillment of living.
