I became a teacher because I wanted to make a difference in students’ lives and help them reach their potential. Education has the power to change opportunities for people, and I wanted to be part of guiding students as they learn, grow, and gain confidence in themselves. Both of my parents were teachers and I saw how much they enjoyed it. I love my job.
